With the upcoming holidays, it is hard to keep the correct focus sometimes among the commercialism and gift buying. Nevertheless, it is easy to find resources to help you teach your children the true meaning of Christmas with fun activities and ideas to remember “Jesus is the reason for the Season”.

For example, Let Us Teach Kids has resources you can find at http://www.letusteachkids.com/christmas/Christmas2.htm which includes puppets and puppet activities, gift ideas, skits, music, and stories. Apples for the Teacher has fun coloring pages which can be found at http://www.apples4theteacher.com/coloring-pages/christian-christmas/index.html Their coloring pages come along with literacy ideas to help you transform the coloring into fun learning activities with your little angel. Their site also contains poems and rhymes, Christmas crafts, prayers, stories, word finds and numerous other fun activities.

For those who celebrate advent, there are activities for advent and Christmas at http://www.domestic-church.com/CONTENT.DCC/pages.dir/fridge.htm#ADVENT including trees, wreaths, pictures, prayers, puzzles and gifts. Danielle’s place has a variety of fun Christmas crafts found at http://www.daniellesplace.com/html/christmas_page2.html#scroll including a fun Isaiah 7:14 Bible Scroll Craft

These are just a few samples of some ministries and aids for focusing on Christ this year. There are many ministries to help year round. As you explore these sites you will find these ministries to be great tools for parents all the year round. Happy Holidays!!
