Journey to Bethlehem Advent Calendar

Nice to have a Christian Advent calendar. Only problem with this one is the design (very beautiful ) has the 3 Kings........they only came on the scene AFTER the birth of Christ.Would love to have the company's artists create a scene with the travel to Bethlehem, and then ONLY on the last window On the eve of Christmas, a picture of the crib. The crib with the Holy Child does not appear in the Christmas Story until Christmas! An Avent calendar with either the child Jesus or the Kings is absolutely MEANINGLESS and it removes all the explanations to our children on the meaning of Advent and their excitement on opening a daily window with a little suitable text.

Gave these to two little friends and parents report the kids have enjoyed them. Can't wait to get up each day to read the latest in baby Jesus" birth. Its a great way to introduce the miracle of Christmas and the true meaning of the season.

This paper 11 x 14 calendar reminds me of the kind we had as kids and that you can't seem to find in stores anymore. There are 24 paper window flaps that you open; one for each day, and there is a picture and part of the Bible story under each flap. This is affordable and pretty. Recommended.

These get a lot if use at out house. After years if use our last one wore out. This one arrived promptly after ordering and in perfect condition. I added a heavy piece of cardboard to to back of it for sturdiness hoping to help it survive the years of constant Christmas use it will get. Beautiful pictures, nice and child friendly story, plus it looks nice wherever you hang it.

Lovely.... bought for my Nephew's & Nices' young families as an intro to the REAL & True meaning of Christmas!.

The whole family love it. Recommend.

I gave them as gifts and all thought it was wonderful..

I get advent calendars every year and this has been my favorite. BEAUTIFUL pictures and bible story to go along with it.

I wanted to teach the real meaning of Christmas to my 4 year old. She asked for the next door every day without fail, and memorised the whole story as we went along. She now knows about Caesar Augustus, decrees, the tax system and many of the relevant place names. A bit more grown up than I expected but a great learning too and the calendar was beautifully made. My only negative would be that the story went a bit slow.

Absolutely gorgeous, telling the tale of the Nativity as each window is opened. Cute paintings, the characters dressed in old, traditional German costumes. The windows are opened one after the other rather than randomly so there is no hunt for the next number, but still a beautiful Advent calendar to accompany us to Christmas Eve.

This calendar is beautiful, would recommend for another year. Tells the story of Christmas behind each window, along with lovely traditional biblical pictures...... A true advent calendar! Only glitch was the time it took to arrive, but next time I will order at the beginning of November, packing was also very substantial . The delay could have been Royal Mail, as they seem to be all over the shop.

Truly a delightful advent calendar. The story of the journey to Bethlehem unfolded day by day with lovely pictures; it was beautifully told and a good clear print size for children (or elderly) to read.I was just slightly disappointed that the windows opened in a very predictable order - there was not really a hunt to find the day; this, of course, made the story really easy to follow, which people with young children would very much appreciate.

This activity calendar was perfect for my 5 year daughter. It helped her understand the story of the birth of Christ in easy to digest snippets. Each day told a part of the story which we usually read from day 1 to the current day each time we opened up another window. The pictures were beautiful too. My only negative comment is that the calendar was a bit flimsy, although the windows were strong enough.
