![]() ![]() You can hide him – or you could lose him for three days and say he must have found a really good hiding spot (cough, cough – that might have happened here). Your child gets to name the Shepherd and he gets to look for him in the morning Well – he LOVES it and wants to play EVERY DAY! I’m sure there is an ADVENTure your child will love as well!Ĥ. My son is so into hide and seek right now, so I thought, “he’ll like this game”. We don’t get to do each ADVENTure – but again, that’s okay! One of the suggested activities is “Find the Shepherd”. ![]() He loves to cut and use scotch tape! So, I was thrilled when I saw the first suggested activity was to create a paper chain countdown! We made that chain together and it was a great activity for us. The Daily ADVENTures found on DaySpring’s WebsiteĭaySpring offers lots of ideas to use The Shepherd as a teaching tool and gives me ways to simply spend quality time with my son. The Shepherd can be touched and in fact, DaySpring offers online activities that go along with The Shepherd’s search – and our son’s FAVORITE involves hiding and seeking the Shepherd. I’ve also heard, that when children inevitably touch him, that creates more work for the parents. I’ve heard that for those who do participate in “The Elf on the Shelf” that no one is allowed to touch the Elf. Your child or children can touch The Shepherd and it’s all good! we can still have fun with looking for the little guy in the morning – but we are always reminded of who we should always search for. The Shepherd was exactly what I was looking for. I will say, sometimes I wished we had one. Our view is – Santa sees you no matter what – all the time. However, if you are not an elf fan – you can use The Shepherd instead! We don’t have an Elf. In fact, you could probably have a ton of fun teaming them up to do some entertaining things and allow your children to find them both together some mornings. ![]() If you already use the famous Elf on the Shelf you can easily add the Shepherd to the mix. The Shepherd can be used with or without the Elf! However, I know my weaknesses and since I am determined to teach my child how much Jesus loves him, I reached out to DaySpring and asked if I could review The Shepherd on the Search Advent Activity Set. Thankfully, DaySpring agreed to send me the kit and allow me to host a giveaway! I can honestly say, I am so glad we are actively participating in this activity in our home! After reading our son the book and completing some of the fun games and crafts that accompany it with our son, I can share why I LOVE this gift set and would recommend it to everyone who celebrates Christmas! Five Reasons Why I LOVE DaySpring’s The Shepherd on the Searchġ. “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”Ĭonfession: This Advent I have said the names “Santa” and “Saint Nicholas” more than I have said the name “Jesus”. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. ![]()
