It’s important for the reason of the season to not be forgotten and commercialized. If you start Elf on the Shelf young, make sure your child knows the Story of Christmas and the birth of Christ with these Easy to Read Advent Calendar Bible Verses for Kids.

No matter your Elf the Shelf ideas and shenanigans, each day, have your Elf doll bring one bible verse. Included in this set are 24 Advent Calendar Bible Verse to use with or without an Elf on the Shelf North Pole visitor.

Christian Elf on the Shelf Alternatives

If Elf on the Shelf isn’t your thing, first we say – “why not!?!” Ha, ha. Really no judgment. We have some Christian Elf on the Shelf Alternatives for your holiday season.

The most popular is the Shepherd On the Search Advent Activity Set from DaySpring.

Embark on a family journey and find Christ in Christmas! During the Advent season, begin reading the story of your shepherd’s timeless journey in a beautifully illustrated interactive children’s book, and let the fun begin every day as you hide your shepherd and your children find him in a new place along the search

Also take a look at The Little Christmas Angel by Peggy Barons.

This boxed gift set contains one hardcover color illustrated children’s book, with beautifully designed Christmas Angel doll. The story begins in ancient Bethlehem, but quickly moves into modern times taking the reader on a lively journey with a little angel, right into their own home.

Similar to an advent calendar and a blend of Elf on the Shelf, the Christmas Star From Afar has a hidden star to create a fun and challenging hide-and-seek Christmas game for kids of all ages.

This Gift Set includes soft cover book and 15 piece wooden nativity set additional items – The Star From Afar Stable Animals and Scripture Cards! To play, Set up your nativity. Hide the Star every night. Once your children find the Star move all Three Wise Men to its location.

Also take a look at The Shepherd’s Treasure Book. An advent calendar that eventually brings the gift of Jesus.

The Shepherd’s Treasure is a faith based countdown to Christmas. During the month of December, children follow their Shepherd on a fun, interactive treasure hunt to find the true meaning of Christmas. On Christmas morning, they find their Shepherd kneeling before the greatest treasure of all time: JESUS!
