I am really excited to share with you today an upcoming series that will be starting soon right here on Raising Little Shoots: A nature-themed advent calendar!
Beginning on December 1st, through to December 24th, each day there will be a new post; an unfolding of the Christmas Story in scripture, and an activity for the day. The activities will be mostly nature-based, with a few special Christmas activities here and there, to add a little Christmas magic.
Please use the share buttons, and be sure to subscribe to the blog so as not to miss a day!
Thank you, sounds like a great addition to our advent calendar! Will you be posting a preview ahead of time, or perhaps a materials list so that we can be prepared for any activities that need extra materials or choosing locations for outdoor activities? I like to have my activities/projects/studies planned out at least a few days ahead, so every morning i’m not spending time on the computer or brainstorming ideas when I could be enjoying my children. : )
Hello Val, thanks for taking the time to comment. I will be posting any materials needed ahead of time 🙂
Can’t wait
Thanks so much x
Thank you Denise!

Thank you! I really hope you enjoy it x
What kind of metallic marker are you thinking of please?
Any would do; something like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sharpie-Fine-Metallic-Permanent-Marker/dp/B00AOHBRJ2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1448834568&sr=8-2&keywords=metallic+marker
or this

Most likely I shall use whatever is in the bottom of the girl’s felt pen box 😉
Thanks. I wasn’t sure if you meant a permanent marker or a paint type pen – we have the latter leftover from silk painting
Actually, the paint type pen may be an advantage for one of the activities 🙂
We are so excited about this!!
Hurrah!
