After looking on Pinterest for awhile I ended up combining some different ideas to make my advent calendar this year! I love it.. although it has kept us very busy, but we've been doing some awesome things to celebrate the season!
I took clothespins and put mod podge on them and sprinkled glitter on them. I hung up some bakers twine and cut some Christmas scrapbook paper to look like tags. I then took some stencils and painted on the numbers, and just wrote on the back an activity we would do each day! Rowan has looked forward to turning over the tag every morning!
Some ideas:
- The Nutcracker play
- Watch Christmas movie
- Drink Hot Cocoa
- Polar Express {we drove in our car, hung Christmas lights, and drank cocoa while driving around}
- Read Christmas stories
- Wrap presents
- ELF the neighbors
- Gift for the mail carrier
- Play games by the fire
- Random Acts of Kindness day
- Sing Christmas carols
- Write a letter to Santa
- Decorate the tree
These are just some of the things that I included in our advent calendar, but there are so many other options, just be aware of what is going on in your life because I definitely feel like I should have written "drink hot cocoa" on 20 of the 25 days.. haha!
