Shalvit Kids TV Magazine — Issue 16: Christmas Special

🎄 **SHALVIT KIDS TV MAGAZINE — Issue 16: CHRISTMAS SPECIAL** 🎄

*Stories, Songs & Smiles for Little Learners — Ages 2–6 — For reading aloud together*

**135 pages** of Christmas joy, made in Nigeria for little hearts everywhere!

It's Christmas in Lagos! The harmattan morning is cool, the church carols are loud and happy, the jollof rice is ready — and Grandma is telling the best true story of all: the night baby Jesus was born.

### What's inside

- **HERO STORY — "Kiki's Christmas in Lagos" (26 pages):** a brand-new book-length read-aloud story — harmattan morning, decorating the tree, the carol service, the market, cooking day, sharing plates with the neighbours, cousins arriving, and the family feast. Refrain: *"Happy birthday, Jesus — we sing, we give, we love!"*

- **STORY TWO — "The Nativity, Told by Grandma" (18 pages):** the first Christmas told at bedtime, as a story-inside-the-celebration — the journey, the cosy stable, the singing sky, the shepherds, the star and the three wise men.

- **BIBLE STORY TIME — The Birth of Jesus (14 pages):** the festival telling from **Luke 2 and Matthew 2**, tied to Storybook No. 69 *The Birth of Jesus* — with carols, the verse *"Today a Saviour is born — Christ the Lord!"* (Luke 2:11), and the counted wonders: **1 star · 3 gifts · 5 sheep · 7 tiny stars**. Told with absolute gentleness: no frightening parts anywhere, angels as golden light and song, and no King Herod at all.

- **FEELINGS CORNER — The Joy of Giving:** giving is about love and thought, never price — a drawn card or a shared orange is a BIG gift.

- **SING WITH US:** two full carol song pages — "Happy Birthday, Jesus!" and "Away in a Manger" — with actions.

- **LEARNING LAB (16 pages):** Christmas words, tracing, matching, counting the season, the first-Christmas timeline in pictures — and **Kiki Asks Why?** *"Why do we give gifts at Christmas?"* answered warmly and truly.

- **COUNT & FIND:** the big Christmas Street scene — count **12 stars and 3 gift boxes**, every number drawn and checked.

- **PUZZLE PAGES (12 pages):** two solver-checked mazes, spot-the-difference, matching, patterns, dot-to-dot, a Big Quiz — with the full answer key at the back for parents.

- **JOKES & GIGGLES,** **COLOUR & CREATE** (including a colour-your-own nativity scene and a "My Gift List Is People I Love" page), **MAKE IT** (paper Christmas stars + a giving box, with grown-up steps clearly marked), **YUMMY CORNER** (the Christmas rice party plate — grown-ups cook, children serve the cold items and count the servings), and **OUR NIGERIA** (Christmas across Nigeria: carol services, new clothes, harmattan mornings, travelling home, sharing food).

- **PARENT PAGES:** what your child learned, how to enjoy the issue together, and the complete answer key.
