The Shepherd’s Story

Thousands of years ago the angels visited the shepherds and brought them good news. When the shepherds heard this good news, they set off on an epic journey to search for the newborn baby Jesus.

Make this timeless story come alive with YOUR very own shepherd. His journey begins anew every Christmas season and ends on Christmas day as your shepherd finds his way to the manger.

Day 13 Recipe for FUN: Looking far and wide!⁠ ⁠ Supplies: Shepherd hidden up high, toilet paper rolls (2 per child) duct tape, string, or ribbon.⁠ ⁠ Story time: The Shepherd followed the bright star way up in the sky on his journey. He looked and looked and watched and watched until he found the baby Jesus!⁠ ⁠ Activity: Making binoculars to search for the Shepherd.⁠ Help each child tape the 2 toilet paper rolls together. Make a hole on the side of each paper roll and lace the string through to make a strap, decorate with markers, paint, or stickers. When finished show your child how to look through them to find things in the house, including the⁠ Shepherd.⁠ --⁠ I found this entire idea at shepherdonthesearch.com, and it couldn't be easier! That site makes it super simple when I'm running low on ideas for our Shepherd. With just two weeks til Christmas, I needed some inspiration 🙂 Oh, also helpful is the #shepherdonthesearch hashtag! I love seeing everyone's creative ideas!⁠ - @annaerendell, mom to 3 Shepherd fans
