With the holiday season is right around the corner, I am excited to share some resources for families in search of meaningful traditions. From practicing gratitude at Thanksgiving to counting down the days until Christmas, these resources are designed to bring joy, reflection, and connection into your home. Plus, I wanted to celebrate the season with a special giveaway — keep reading for all the details!
1. The Gracious Gobbler
This adorable turkey kit has been on my wish list and is great for families or teachers! Each morning, the turkey “delivers” a card recognizing someone’s act of kindness from the day before — sparking daily reflection and appreciation. I love teaching my kids to practice gratitude and kindness and Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday to lean in and have fun with it!
2. Turkey on the Table
With Turkey on the Table, everyone writes something they’re thankful for on colorful feathers and adds them to the turkey each day. By the time Thanksgiving arrives, you’ve built not only a beautiful turkey but also a tradition of gratitude your kids will remember.
(For a similar DIY version: buy leaf cutouts and each day have your kids write something they are thankful for on a leaf. Add your leaves to a string for a fun, festive garland!)
3. GoodKind Advent Blocks
Wooden blocks paired with a family devotional that guides your family through the story of Jesus’ coming. Flip the blocks over as you count down to Christmas!
4. The Giving Manger
A beautiful tradition where kids place pieces of straw in a manger whenever they perform an act of kindness or service. On Christmas, they place baby Jesus in the filled manger.
5. Melissa & Doug Countdown to Christmas Advent Calendar
A classic wooden advent calendar with magnetic ornaments for little hands to place on the tree each day.
6. Christmas Nativity Advent Countdown Calendar
A Christ-centered countdown with rustic wooden charm that looks beautiful hanging on the wall or displayed on a table.
7. The Shepherd on the Search
A fun faith-based activity that follows a shepherd searching for the baby Jesus. Comes in a keepsake nativity box.
8. Nativity Advent Calendar
Includes 24 days of surprise figures that build into a glowing nativity scene kids can play with and treasure.
9. The Jesse Tree Advent Book & Ornament Craft Book
An advent devotional book that our family has used for years to countdown to Christmas. And an accompanying craft book where kids make the ornaments associated with each devotion!
10. Christmas Tonies
11. Christmas Yoto Cards
- My First Christmas Album – sing along to cheerful Christmas songs perfect for little voices.
