What’s in the set
One plush sheep, 25 daily Advent cards with Scripture printed right on them, a keepsake box to store it all in year after year, and a parent guide with where to start, what to do, and how to keep it simple.
How the 25 days work
Hide the sheep each night. Your children find him in the morning, then you read that day’s card together — Scripture, a simple activity, a prayer, and a preview of tomorrow. The readings run in order from Genesis to the manger, and on Christmas morning he’s waiting at the nativity.

The morning routine
A sheep to find. Scripture to share. Every morning.
The fun brings them to the sheep. The sheep brings them back to Jesus.
-
Tonight
You hide. He wanders.
After the kids are asleep, tuck the sheep somewhere new. Behind a cushion. At the breakfast table. In a doll bed. Get silly if you want to, but a simple hiding spot is plenty.
-
Morning
Let the search begin.
Where did he end up this time? Your children race to find him and discover his latest hiding spot. You get to enjoy the moment they do.
-
Together
Find the sheep. Open the story.
Once they’ve found him, read the day’s card together. Scripture, a simple activity, a prayer, and a peek at what comes next. Stay for the questions. This is the part you get to share.
First things first. What’s his name?
That’s up to your kids. They name him. You hide him. Don’t be surprised if someone is shouting his name down the hallway before you’ve had your coffee.
What arrives at your door

The plush sheep

Where to start, what to do, and how to keep it simple.
Why a sheep
We wander.
Our Shepherd does not.
He gets distracted. He follows something interesting. He’s quite sure he knows the way.
And there he is, somewhere he wasn’t meant to be.
The sheep is us.
We wander, too. We go our own way. And we need a Savior. As your children search for their sheep, the Scripture cards tell the story of the God who comes for us.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost. That’s the heart of this tradition.
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.”
Luke 19:10 · CSB
The twenty-five days
Why we needed Christmas at all.
Your children may know who was in the manger. These readings help them understand why He came.
Begin with God’s good creation, see why we need a Savior, and follow His promise through Scripture to Jesus’ birth. By Christmas morning, you’ve shared the story that leads to the manger, one day at a time.

December 25
He is born
Twenty-five readings, in order, from Genesis to the manger. See where the conversation goes. Sometimes the best question comes just when you think you’re finished.
Why we made this
Somehow, Jesus had become a parallel story at Christmas — instead of the story.
Our family loves us some Christmas. Like, tree-up-at-Halloween type people.
But last year I had a realization I couldn’t shake. My kids knew about the manger. They knew we were celebrating Jesus’ birth. We went to church, we read the Christmas story. And if I’m honest, so much of the excitement was still centered around everything else.
I kept thinking… what if there were something they were just as excited to wake up and find every morning — something that continually brought them back to Jesus? Something fun. Something they’d remember. Something that didn’t take the wonder out of Christmas, but pointed the wonder back to Him.
That little thought became Sheep & Seek.
— Katherine, founder & mom
Questions parents ask us
What ages is it best for?
Sheep & Seek is for ages 3+. Read the cards aloud together and let your children’s questions guide the conversation — the littlest ones love finding the sheep and listening, and children who read can follow along in the passages themselves.
How much time does it take each day?
A minute to hide the sheep, then a few minutes together to read the day’s Scripture, talk, and pray. Some days your children will have lots of questions; other days you’ll simply read. You can make room for the conversation without creating a daily event.
Do I have to create elaborate hiding spots?
No. A sheep tucked behind a cushion or sitting at the breakfast table is enough. Have fun with silly setups if you enjoy them, but the excitement of finding him doesn’t require props, crafts, or a late-night production.
Which Bible translation do the cards use?
Scripture quotations use the Christian Standard Bible (CSB), printed directly on each card so you don’t have to look anything up. The 25 readings follow the biblical story leading to Jesus’ birth — what we celebrate at Christmas, and why we need a Savior.
Does the sheep involve magic or monitor my child’s behavior?
No. Children can know that you’re the one hiding the sheep. He doesn’t watch them, report their behavior, or make them earn anything. The fun is in finding him, and the heart of it is discovering more about Jesus together.
Can my children share one set?
Yes. One set is enjoyed together as a family — children search together, take turns finding the sheep, and read the daily cards together. If you’d like each child to have their own, additional plush sheep are available separately.
What if we miss a day or start after December 1?
You haven’t ruined anything. Read a few cards together to catch up, or work through the remaining readings at a pace that suits your family. The goal is time in Scripture together, and a missed morning doesn’t take that away.
When will my preorder ship, and when am I charged?
This is a preorder for our upcoming Christmas release. Orders are expected to begin shipping November 1, and payment is collected at checkout when you place your order. You’ll get a shipping confirmation with tracking when it’s on its way, and you can change or cancel any time before it ships.
What if it isn’t right for our family?
We want your family to love Sheep & Seek. If it isn’t the right fit, contact hello@sheepandseek.com within 30 days of receiving your order to request a return. See our Return Policy for full details.
