Advent Calendar

This is K's first year of having an advent calendar. She has been working on decorating 25 envelopes for a few weekends. Last night we hung the envelopes in the loungeroom.

I found some Christmas cards from last year that we cut up and glued on to the envelopes.

Glitter glue was used for some.

And paints of course.

K practised her numbers by writing 1-25 on the envelopes.

 

Mum will place a very small gift or activity card in each envelope and K will get to open the corresponding envelope (December date) each morning. Maybe this will become a new tradition for our family. We don't have too many special event traditions so it would be nice to start one.
