Packaging Instructions and Ideas for Church Leaders:
- Create a kit for each child or family using a gift box.
- Print the gift tags and color if desired. Cut apart, fold, and attach one to each kit. Optional: Write the name of the recipient inside the tag.
- Reproduce enough activity pages for each child in the family to have one. (You can choose to print in grayscale, if you don’t have access to a color printer.)
- Along with the activity pages, consider filling the kits with some or all of these items:
- Crayons, markers, or colored pencils
- Set of Advent candles (taper candles or battery-operated tealights and supplies for making an Advent wreath)
- Advent and Christmas event announcements
