I love advent calendars. Before we had kids, I remember making little mittens for our Christmas tree with the numbers of the days of the month in December. Each day, either Tony or myself tucked a treat in the mitten to be found in the morning. I loved receiving a surprise every other day.
For the last couple of years, I have used various advent calendars for the boys including playmobile and candy treats. This year I found some cute advent calendars on Pinterest. Take a look, they just may interest you!
1/ This cute advent calendar has a vintage feel with tags for each day of the month.
2/ I love the the coloured clothes pegs hung with homemade treats.
3/ I love these cute little socks hung on a red piece of ribbon. Each sock has a date and treat hidden inside. This reminds me of "Secret Stocking" that I use to do with my class each year. Every student would bring in a sock and we would hang them in the class. Each day, a different student was assigned to bring in a treat for each sock. The kids loved arriving to class to find a treat each and every day of December!
4/ This is a lovely twist to the advent calendar. Each day a new card is revealed with a family oriented activity to do together.
5/ This final advent calendar is a mix of two things I love.
Branches in jar + advent calendar = LOVE
I can just imagine what little treats can be hidden in these little envelopes :)
I would love to know what your advent calendar looks like. Please send me a message and picture of your advent calendar and traditions. I will share them for all to see!
