Each year we use an Advent calendar that I purchased a couple of years ago. It is made of felt and has pockets for each day in December. It is a nativity and each night you place one of the pieces of the nativity from the pocket and put it in the manger. We have done this for several years now and I wanted a new way to use it that reinforces the birth of Christ. This year we added these verses from Hubbards Cubbord. I printed them up on yellow paper and cut off the daily readings and activities and just reading the verse each day. The boys were excited to see something new added and are excited to hear each day's bible verse.
We are also using this countdown calendar from Hubbards Cubbard as well. It has been a big hit each night to add a new star in the sky over the baby Jesus.

Oh, I love the star countdown calendar! I got a cheap advent calendar this year - snowmen, and you move a snowflake into a new pocket each day.
I wanted a nativity one, but had a hard time finding something I liked. I love that the star one is something I can print out...and doesn't everyone have gold star stickers?! My kids are still young enough that a fancy, involved advent calendar wouldn't be enjoyed.
Thanks for sharing!
I love that your advent calendar has bible verses!
