Frequently Asked Questions | GoodKind FAQ
What is GoodKind?
GoodKind creates beautiful, tangible, rewarding, playful, and easy-to-use faith-based products to help families build more meaningful moments and traditions. Their popular offerings include Advent Blocks, Easter Blocks, GratiKube, Sabbath Box, and Sticky Prayers.
What are Advent Blocks, and how do they work?
Advent Blocks are a set of wooden blocks designed for families to use during the Advent season. They count down to Christmas while focusing on the story of Jesus. Learn more here.
Why Advent Blocks?
Advent Blocks provide a tangible way for children of all ages and their parents to engage with the Advent story, anticipating Jesus, not just presents. Each day, there is movement with the blocks, which shows God's plan for His Son (represented by the star) to come to Earth (represented by the Earth). We have supplied The King Is Coming - our 25-day guide - along with the blocks.
Love the idea behind Advent Blocks, then you’ll also love GoodKind Easter Blocks.
Why are you using wooden blocks?
Wooden blocks are durable and provide a tactile experience for children. They also visually represent the journey of Advent, with each day’s movement reflecting the story.
How did you pick the stories?
Chris and Clayton selected engaging Bible stories that highlight God's presence (and absence) in Scripture, ensuring they are suitable for the whole family. Read more about the process here.
Does the guide fit my Christian faith?
We wrote the guide to encourage all Christians. Many denominations have used and loved our family guide, “The King Is Coming.” If you want a sample, check this out.
