The Whole Story Family Daily Devotional

You want more of the Christmas story? You’ve come to the right place! Just like the Advent calendar, these simple daily readings and activities are designed for under 5’s. The Bible verses go with each day’s sticker and tell a bit more of the story. We have quoted from the International Children’s Bible but you can use any version you have at home if you prefer. Read the verse(s) for each day to your child and then put them into everyday language that they can understand. Use the activities to help your child to grasp a little more of what is happening in each part of the story.
You can purchase the Come Along, Christmas advent calendar from thegoodbook.co.uk here.
