Anxious Kids Christmas Bedtime Story Book, 50 Coloring Pages, Jigsaw Puzzle Game, Video Book, Instant Download, The Helpful Elf
🎄 Does your little one worry about Santa’s list? This bundle is for them! 🎅
The Helpful Elf is an illustrated rhyming Christmas story for children who take “being good” very seriously. It admits what most holiday books skip: cheerfulness can be a hard task. Then, with the help of Santa Claus, it gives kids a gentle, hopeful answer. Trying isn’t lying. Do your very best, and God above will do the rest. ⭐
Along the way, children learn simple ways to be the helpful elf 🧝: play with others, smile at Mom, ask Dad what he needs, be gentle and never hate. The story ends with the words every worried child needs to hear at bedtime: “Now sleep tight. You’re doing just right!” 🌙💤
Now kids can READ it, HEAR it, WATCH it, PLAY it and COLOR it! This bundle turns one bedtime story into weeks of holiday fun. 🎁
