UPDATED WITH WINNERS: Congratulations Deborah (comment #35), Zenobia (comment #47), Amy (comment #58), Sarah H. (comment #70), and Elizabeth (comment #80)
I’m anticipating Advent this year with my family! From yesterday’s post, you can see we do a variety of activities to celebrate the Season and I’m super excited to try out Truth in the Tinsel, an Advent experience for little hands. My kids LOVE crafts!
As I read thru the pages, I was so impressed with the tangible, practical ways to open up Christmas to even the smallest. Plus it’s neatly organized, easy to use and absolutely inspiring.
I really believe December is one of best times to impress God’s Word on your kids’ hearts. Our whole country turns its attention to Christmas–stores are playing songs of worship to the newborn king, movies are playing on cable that show the real meaning of Christmas and people even decorate their yard with Bible characters! -Amanda, author
This ebook is full of encouraging and tangible ways to make Christmas about Him.
Along with this great little ebook, Amanda, is issuing a challenge on Impress Your Kids blog to “give” our kids the first 24 days of December by doing the book together & joining the Truth in the Tinsel Facebook page. It will be a place of encouragement every day during Advent (by posting pics of the craft you did, funny things your kids said while doing the activity, etc.)
The whole concept of the book is to read a portion of the Christmas Story directly from Scripture. Then make an ornament craft to go along with it. The talk about the event or the person in the story. It sounds simple but I know (and you do, too if you have kids) that when kids get to use their hands to create and they get to talk about something, it gets into them. I see these Advent activities in the book as kid-friendly ways to meditate on God’s Word. -Amanda
I hope you’ll give it a try with your little ones! The ebook is regularly $4.99, but you can save 20% with the code THATfamily. It’s only good for 24 hours, so hurry! [This post contains my referral link].

Ooh, this would be fantastic. Thanks so much for the giveaways.
I tried the code, but it says it’s already expired. Am I doing something wrong?
Sorry Suzanne! It went cukoo but it’s working now!

I would love love love to do this with my kids!! They are 4 1/2 and 2, and so excited about Christmas. In fact, I pinned your post yesterday to Pinterst, and need to keep #19 in mind. It’s so easy to get swept up into the craziness that the world brings and forget why we’re really celebrating. Last night we read about the Shepherds in the Jesus Storybook Bible – so fun to watch my little boy’s eyes light up when the angels appear

I’ve been thinking about getting something like this for my 4-year-old…..can’t wait to see it!
My daughter is two and I’ve been looking and looking for something that is her level. I’ve found bits and pieces of things I could use or modify to work, but nothing that’s all put together and just needs a trip to the craft store. It appears this book could indeed be the book that lets me cross something off my to do list.
yes please!
I would love to win this to go through with my 2 and 3 year old!
