Advent Activities For The Whole Family

Yesterday I started and finished a new handmade Christmas Advent Calendar with the help of hubby and the kids.

It is a wooden advent tree made from a pallet we have had lying around for ages. And the bags are made from a charm pack of 'In from the Cold'. Inside each bag is 24 different advent activities.

Those activities included some of the following ideas:

1. Put up and Decorate the Christmas Tree
2. Make Christmas Cookies
3. Make paper chains to decorate the house with
4. Watch a Christmas movie
5. Make salt dough decorations
6. Make candy cane bark
7. Checkout the neighbourhood Christmas Lights
8. Make a Christmas movie message to send to friends and family
9. Go on a candy cane hunt
10. Do some Christmas colouring in
11. Make red and green playdough
12. Listen to Christmas songs
13. Make Christmas cards for friends and family
14. Make gifts for school friends
15. Make reindeer food
16. Do some Christmas crafts
17. Read Christmas books
