An Advent of Gratidude: A 25-Day Journey of Thankfulness and Growth for Children

Unlock the magic of gratitude and emotional growth with our Advent of Gratitude activity book! Perfect for children ages 6-12, this engaging activity book guides young hearts through a joyful journey of thankfulness, self-discovery and connection during the festive season.

How it started

Friends and moms, Kristina and Courtney know the struggle all too well. In the midst of creating holiday magic, it seems like the true meaning of the season gets lost, not only for parents, but also for kids. In a world where everyone seems to expect more and appreciate less, they set out to combat a growing sense of entitlement, particularly during the holiday season.

And so, An Advent of Gratitude activity book was born.

Kristina, a mental health and family therapist, and Courtney, an artist and designer, joined forces to create a fun, engaging, and meaningful activity book to not only help kids embrace the spirit of the season but also equip them with lifelong skills in self-awareness, resilience, and social interaction.
