how to simplify your homeschool

Yesterday I mentioned an advent resource that I wish we had when our kids were younger. Today, I have a review of Truth in the Tinsel to see if its a good fit for your family.

For those of you who have young kids (preschool to young elementary), Truth in the Tinsel is one of a few Christmas activities for kids that puts emphasis on Christ.  It’s also perfect if you’re a procrastinator like me :-).  It’s not too late!

Advent starts this Sunday, so it’s not too late to grab your copy of Truth in the Tinsel!

I can’t wait for grandkids to enjoy these fun Christmas activities for kids. Let me share my thoughts.

What I Found

Truth in the Tinsel includes 24 days of Advent or Christmas Activities.  Each day consists of 5 parts

  1. The Clue – Picture & word clues to download, print & insert in your advent calendar
  2. The Scripture – Listen for the clue as you read the Scripture
  3. The Ornament – Simple crafts, Simple supplies
  4. The Talk – As you make your ornaments, discuss the Scripture &/or the clue
  5. More – Additional Scripture, Songs to download, DVD’s to find/watch, Fun & Easy activities…take them or leave them

I suggest downloading & printing Truth in the Tinsel.  Then, place it in a binder for easy access.  Look over the full supply list to see what items you might need to purchase.  Most supplies are items you have around your home, so don’t stress.
