Preschool - 6th Grade
​
Advent is quickly approaching. There are many great ways to celebrate this time of preparation as a family. One way is through a family book. We love this series for children 1st or 2nd grade and up: https://a.co/d/dwmiigF. Our older kids still enjoy listening every year.
For younger children we have done this Advent calendar and really enjoyed it: https://a.co/d/gOGaxSy. These daily family readings can continue into daily family prayer. It’s a lovely way to connect with your children.
