The last two nights I have been volunteering at our church for a 3rd grade advent retreat night. At it, the 3rd graders come to 8 different stations to do a craft that puts Jesus in perspective.
My station? An Advent chain. You know, a paper countdown to Christmas chain, except with things we can do for and with others listed on each slip ~ one for each day until Christmas.
What a lovely thing we can do this time of year to redirect our children's focus (at least try) away from themselves and their I wants.
Back to the 2,506 reasons:
100 kids x 25 slips = 2500
4 sessions of kids and parents = 4
2 full evenings = 2
= 2,506
And yes, I was lucky enough to cut out the srips for all of the kids ~ gotta love a good paper cutter!

Wow, sounds like a lot of cutting and stapling :)
You go girl!!!!!!!!!! I think I'll have to make one with Cubby tomorrow.....the Advent cabinet we have with chocolates in it every day until Christmas isn't teaching him the full meaning of Christmas! :)
I was wondering how that went! Hope you are doing well!!!
