Today at Mom’s Monday Lunch Bunch, I shared lots of Advent activities for kids. These are different from the ones I share on my 3 Clues to Keep Christ in Christmas workshop, but they do focus on putting Christ back into Advent & Christmas. I believe it’s important to keep Christ the center of your celebrations and Advent activities for kids are the perfect place to start.
Below are the resources I recommend in our Advent activities for kids facebook live feed. Please leave comments with any other advent activity you’ve used with your kids to put Christ back into Christmas. Click on the image to read more.
You can get the red beads here and the white beads here. You’ll also need pipe cleaners that you can find here.

Before I close, one of the best pieces of advice I received the first year I homeschooled was to take a break during December. A friend of mine who had kids the same ages, but had homeschooled since Kindergarten, told me she “quits” formal homeschooling.
What you might say? Quit homeschooling for a month.
Well, not really!
From this piece of advice, our family began a Christmas tradition of integrating Christmas and Advent into our homeschooling. I mention a few ideas on our 3 Clues to Keep Christ in Christmas online workshop. You can reserve your seat for free HERE.
There are so many more ideas to integrate Christmas into your reading, writing, math, history, science and other homeschooling. Use Christmas as your central focus all month-long. I have many ideas for you in our Christmas Unit Study.
If you would like our favorite ideas of Christmas & Advent activities, enter your name & email below. I’d be happy to send our Christmas Unit Study to you at no cost for the next few days. This offer expires on December 31. After that, it will be $9.97.

Thanks, Annette. I have more Christmas ones to post, but haven’t had time. Hope to do that today.
