Our DIY Advent Calender
Last year I wanted to make an Advent calender for the boys, but I never got around to it because I was busy. This year I made sure to put it into our schedule so that we could enjoy some extra seasonal festivities. In fact, we'll be doing a lot of festive things this year thanks to our Advent calender.
So here's a pic of our calender & below you'll find the steps I used to make it. It's simple & fun for the kids.
Start with scrapbooking paper of your choice. Cut into 4x6 inch pieces or whatever size you need to get the size pocket you want.
Fold & glue 1/4 inch all the way around. Fold in half & score with a bone folder.
Glue edges to create your pocket. Set under something heavy until glue dries.
Print off numbers 1 - 24 to put on your pockets. Cut out.
Glue your numbers to your finished pockets.
Print out tags for your daily activities, punch holes & tie with twine or ribbon. Write your activities on your tags...one for each day.
Put your tags into the appropriate pockets & hang up however you'd like! Be sure to have fun!
Below are a few of the activities we'll be doing.
Make an Advent wreath
Drive around looking for Christmas lights
Drink hot cocoa with marshmallows
Watch a Christmas movie
Paint holiday pictures on the windows
Read a Christmas story
Decorate the Christmas tree
Wrap presents
Make a homemade Christmas gift
Sing Christmas songs
Read about Baby Jesus's birth
Color Christmas pictures
Make ornaments for the Christmas Tree
....and more!

3 Thanksgiving DIY Projects For You
Why should Christmas have all the fun?
I love Thanksgiving! Not just the meaning behind it, but Autumn is my favorite time of the year. I love color & when it comes to decorating my house...this is the most inspirational time for me.
So recently my 3 year old has really gotten into doing crafty, creative type things. He really likes to color, paint, play with play-doh, help me cook, etc so I'm trying to come up with some fun DIY projects that we can do together.
Pinterest is great for finding stuff like this so today I'm going to share some projects that my little man & I will hopefully tackle this month. Not only to help him be more creative & have fun, but to help teach him the meaning behind Thanksgiving too.
Enjoy!
