One my most popular Christmas posts is the set of 24 cards I created several years ago that tell a little piece of the Christmas story each day (you can see them HERE).
I love those cards, but I wanted to make a set that was a bit more kid-friendly (the earlier printable was written using the King James Version of the Bible).
This brand new version was created using the International Children’s Bible and the Easy Reader’s Version of the Bible. Plus, I did my very best to keep the verses short and without some of the more challenging vocabulary for little ears – like taxes and virgin.
I am all for educating our kids and having rich conversations with them about the Christmas story, but a 2-year-old is usually not ready to sit and listen to a sermon about the history of Caesar Augustus, the Roman Empire, and the great census. They typically just want to move along to finding out whether or not they can have some chicken nuggets for lunch.

Christmas is about Jesus. So let’s capture their little hearts and minds with a simple, fun, Christ-centered countdown to Christmas!
These little cards are the perfect size for Advent Calendars!
They also fit just right with your Elf on the Shelf or Shepherd on the Search each day!
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to celebrate Christmas this year and remember the One who it’s all about, I know you will love these cards!

We can read the verse a few times a day and act it out with her stuffed animals! Thank you so much for your ministry and heart for children. Our family frequents your blog and we love using your resources!

December 2, 2018 at 7:04 pmJust want to let you know what a blessing your posting is! I teach a dozen + 2nd & 3rd grade Sunday School class and today we took your 25 advent countdown to Christmas cards and made a red & green paper chair with them! Started with a red strip & day #1 – pasted it to chain & made a circle, took a green strip, pasted #2 onto it and added it to chain #1! And so on until we had a 24 chain completed project. Kids then took the printout for Christmas day, signed their name on the back, put it in an envelope addressed to Jesus with whatever message for Him they wanted to add (heart, I love you, etc.) and took it home to put on their Christmas Tree! Each day they will take off a chain, and read the verse with their family! Can I just tell you how many parents, upon seeing the chain and envelope, thanked my husband & I as teachers for this project, as they wanted to do something for Advent and didn’t have time to get it ready! Some of the younger kids complained after about 12 or so chains, thinking it was too hard, but we discussed how hard it was for Jesus to leave Heaven and come down to die for us! I would seriously recommend this to any family or SS class, Youth Group, etc. to use next year! It is a true blessing and winner!
