I have found that a key to living the Liturgical Year in the home is having meditative sources so the child can quietly look, explore, read, examine, and ponder all these things in his heart and make it his own. He needs to make his own connections.
There are all sorts of different approaches, such as displays, artwork, figures to touch, crafts, and books. Now that my 7 year old is such an avid reader, I'm finding the combination of both pictures and words really speak to his heart. So I thought I would provide little tidbits to think through Advent on his own, combining the Advent Calendar with something that was little and portable. I was also going to use the same idea for his homeschool Advent retreat, aiming at children from Kindergarten to 2nd grade.
The result is My Little Advent. These are little cards, to cut, hole-punch (and children love to punch holes!), and place on a loose-leaf ring (such as these or these, that can be left as is, or put on a pipe cleaner, shoelace or lanyard. I gave one to my son already and he is just constantly flipping through the cards, singing verses to O Come, Emmanuel and pondering and wondering in quiet. When not in use it hangs on our pantry door near our kitchen table.

I also created a companion calendar, which has the same images, some of the same text as the cards, but is all on one page.
