Here are a few ideas from children’s ministry directors in the Grand Rapids, MI area network:
• Last year we gave our kids a Christmas ornament that would remind them of the program. I found some reasonably priced ornaments on-line at Oriental Trading.
• I have been giving ornaments for the past 5 years. I order from CTAinc.com which has nice ornaments for $1- pewter ones for $3. I also order from orientaltrading.com. This gives the
children a collection of ornaments and they can remember their growing up years in church.• Creative Communications for the Parish has wonderful advent calendars—a picture with 25 windows to open. They are cheap and the families love them. You have a choice of several designs and sizes.
• We gave kids Christmas ornament kits to assemble at home, made from brightly colored old Christmas cards. There are directions here.

The Creative Communications for the Parish website is great. I just ordered the advent calendars for kids and teens as well as placemats for exploring stories during advent.
