Since the countdown to Christmas has begun why not make an advent calender with your kids so that you can enjoy the countdown. I have seen some really great ones this year that include a wrapped book with the day?s number written on it as well as small presents that kids open each day as they count down. I am talking going old school though and making one that has either a figure or treat for each day.
There are a couple of ways you can create an advent calendar. You could use a poster board and make pockets out of folders or even envelopes.?Then?allow your children to decorate it. You then would take a wooden stick and move it from day to day. Don?t laugh because this is the one we had for a number of years because it was easy. Next came the felt one with the same principals?as the cardboard one but using felt. Since felt is thicker you could put a small piece of candy into each one.
Our current favorite is using a cutout of a tree and then attaching 25 pieces on it. We then pull down one?little?piece of candy each morning. Of course there is usually an argument over who will egt to pull the candy down and eat it but we use a rotating schedule with Santa pulling the last one off on Christmas Eve.
