I have had quite a few people reaching out asking for activities for littles under 2, so I had to share this fun craft we did with Naomi (21 months) last week. . .... What you need: ✅Beads (you can also use Cheerios or fruit loops if you're worried they may get eaten. ✅Pipe cleaner . .... What you do: Have your little one string the beads on the pipecleaner. Secure the ends, make a curve, and you have a shepherds staff. 🙌 Still feel a little advanced for your little one? I'll be sharing a few of my other favorite activities for under 2s up in my stories👆. . . . . #kidsplaytruth #babydevotions #godlyplay #playthroughthebible #finemotorskills #biblelessonsforkids #christianhomeschool #raisingchristiankids

We're checking off another #kidsplaytruth prompt today with the word Advent. You may (or may not) have noticed I haven't really shared what we are doing for Advent this year. As December 1st hit, I just felt tired, my kids seemed tired, and I really felt the need for us to slow down....so I put a little pause on our activities. We've been listening to Christmas carols, and reading books here and there, but I really just felt the need to pause for a minute and breathe....anyone else been there?🙋‍♀️ Next week we will be kicking it up a notch with this 10-day countdown👆. And we'll have a few fun crafts and games that we may or may not do, (you can see those up in my stories👆). But this is just a PSA that it is OK not do do ALL the things. If a 25 day advent countdown just feel like too much this year, that is OK. If a 10 day countdown is too much, still OK! Your advent doesn't have to look like someone else's. It's ok to have a simple Christmas. You take care of you and yours, Mama. That's enough❤. . . . .

Immanuel, God with us. At the heart of the Christmas story is this simple message: God became human and walked among us (John 1:14). To show us the Father. To bring us into relationship with Heaven. To show us love. As we are are busy rearranging nativities, and practicing Christmas program songs, may find rest in the fact that God is with us. As we navigate toddler tantrums, and potty training accidents, may we find hope that we are not alone. Christ came to be with us in our suffering, but he also came to be with us in our everyday chaos, even the chaos of toddler wrangling. Take heart, friend, no matter what today is dishing-out, you are seen. You are known. You most certainly are NOT alone. And you are loved.

🎄🌟15 Days until Christmas! ❤🎁 A lot of you have been asking me about resources to share about the Nativity story with families and children who don't come from a Christian background. For a variety of reasons, this has been a hot topic, so I am really excited to share @raisingalegacy religious Christmas box with you all. This is a versatile tool for families looking for an easy way to center Christ in their celebrations, as well as families looking to simply educate their little ones on different religious. The education-centered nature of this box makes it versatile for either situation. I'll be doing an unboxing up in my stories today 👆 and will show you how we're incorporating the activities into our celebrations over the next couple weeks leading up to Christmas. 🎄 You can save 15% on this box by using code: babydevotions15 . . . 🎄Now just for fun, how do you feel about Christmas crafts? Yay😁 or Nah😫

Happy Friday, Friends! We are closing out our week by marking-off the #kidsplaytruth play prompt: Carol. My toddlers' favorite Christmas carol, is a Spanish villancico called "Mi Burrito Sabanero" and it largely inspired this homemade boardgame. . .... Here's what you need: ✔Paper 🔴Dot Stickers 🖍Marker ⭐Toy Donkey (or other piece of your play nativity. 🎲Dice . .... Set-up: 1️⃣Write 'Start' on the left side of your paper. 2️⃣Then draw a little Manger scene on the right side (this does NOT have to be fancy). 3️⃣ Using dot stickers, make a trail from start to the manger. 4️⃣Put your Donkey on start. . ..... How to play: This is a collaborative game.🙌 Have players take turns rolling the dice and moving the donkey. Continue taking turns until the donkey reaches the manger🎶"a ver a Jesús." 🎶 ('to see Jesus.') . ..... You can check out my stories to see the game in action👆. 🎵What is your favorite Christmas carol?
