If you have never done this, I can’t recommend this enough. We have a little wooden manger which the children place a piece of yarn into every time they make a sacrifice or do something especially nice for someone.
They become so concerned that Jesus will have a nice soft bed at Christmas that they constantly are reminding each other to do things to fill up that manger.
The empty manger is also a constant reminder that they must make a nice place for Jesus, in His manger and in their hearts.
You can use a box or baby doll cradle during Advent, and then add a baby doll to represent Jesus and place Him under the tree (in His nice, soft, filled manger) on Christmas Eve.

Are you joining Advent Adventure a little late and missed the first days? Or maybe you just want to go back to one of the previous day's activities that you didn't have a chance to finish. Click the calendar dates below to go back to previous Advent Adventure pages.
Children can follow along with the pictures while the family prays. Captions for the large illustrations come directly from Scripture and are printed on each page in English and Spanish. Three bonus pages to color with illustrations of the Miracle of Lepanto, which is also narrated on the companion CD. Includes one audio CD "The Joyful Mysteries" plus one copy of the companion coloring book "The Childhood of Jesus".
