Easy D.I.Y. Christmas Advent
Each Holiday season I like to create an advent calendar. The focus is not necessarily a countdown to Christmas, rather a tool to help us enjoy the season. This year I took twenty five mini craft paper boxes and filled them with slips of paper listing an activity we can do together as a family. Then I glued a little bottle brush tree on top and tied it up with a ribbon.
Some of the activities include:
- delivering treats to our neighbors
- watching ELF
- walking around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights
- making Peanut Butter blossoms
- inviting friends over for a festive meal
- making homemade marshmallows and hot chocolate
- wrapping presents
- reading Christmas stories
- go to Zoo Lights
Supplies you will need:
- ribbon
- bottlebrush trees
- scissors
- tacky glue
- slips of paper
- pen
