Time to break out those advent calendars. I made one last year, out of felt. It has pockets to put slips of paper in, with different activities to do. There are so many cute ideas for advent calendars out there. I wish I could make them all. Here is the post I did last year, with a list of activities and here are more pictures of my advent calendar. I'm gonna add a few different ones this year. Such as...
- Make an ornament out of beads and put it on the tree.
- Get out nativity set and talk about each piece.
- Make and send a gift to grandparents. (picture ornament maybe)
- Go caroling.
- Make a snowflake chain.
- Snowman dress up craft.
- Make picture frames out of craft foam and take Christmas pictures to put in them and hang on mantle.
- Go to a movie as a family.
- Make a cardboard train with boxes. Put pillows and blankets in so kids can sit comfortably and watch Polar Express in their train. Then drink hot chocolate.
- Hang stockings then read Christmas stories. (on Christmas eve)
If anyone has some other fun ideas, please feel free to share. :)
