Advent Calendars for Children!

One of my favorite memories growing up about Christmas was our little daily Advent Nativity calendar that hung on the wall and being able to open one each day. It is so funny how it is sometimes the little things that can find it's way into the hearts of children.

I still remember the anticipation of being able to open it and wondering what was in them. To me it was just as magical as putting up the tree and getting presents.





I usually try to get one every year for our home.  Let me tell you that one year I bought one that had those little chocolates in because I knew the kids would love it.  Then one morning one of my children (who was small at the time) got up early and ate almost all of them! You better believe that I made sure to put it in a better place safely out of reach after that!

I already got one this year for my kids even though I haven't showed it to them yet. It is those little things that fondly remind me of my childhood.

So I wanted to share a couple today in case you haven't gotten one yet. They have several different kinds than they did when I was growing up. Some have Bible verses and some do not.

The one pictured above is the Step 2 My First Advent Calendar that you can find it. Its cute because you can fill it with little toys for the kids. These are nice that you can use them every year and customize it to the child.
