Countdown to ChristmasSample

Hand each child a wrapped -- but not yet decorated -- present meant for a family member or friend. Encourage your kids to express their creativity by adding ribbon, bows, glitter or other decorations to adorn the packages.

While wrapping their packages, ask your kids to identify gifts God gives them. Highlight His creativity through creation -- sunshine, fresh air, animals -- and His love for people as shown through the gift of salvation.
