Advent Calendar
Well I finally got on the ball and finished the Advent Calendar tonight. I did “cheat” a bit as I got a template for the numbers off the internet that was free shared because I didn’t have enough time to design my own. I came up with a list of 50+ activities to add to each day and added the ones we wanted to do with the boys. I also laminated those so we can just re-use them each year and easily add to them as the kids get older.
Something like this:
Here’s the list of things we are doing this year:
- Get photos taken by Jenn
- Watch Frosty the Snowman
- Make Salt Dough Ornaments
- Write a letter to Santa
- Visit Santa
- Have a special treat
- Pick out a Christmas Tree
- Watch Polar Express
- Decorate the Tree
- Make Rice Krispie Treats
- Go to Old Tyme Christmas
- Have a Glow Stick Bubble Bath
- Go for Ice Cream
- Have a Picnic in front of the Tree by Christmas Light
- Go see “Frozen”
- Make Playdoh
- Bake Cookies
- Paint a Picture
- Go to Tim Hortons & buy a Stranger a Coffee
- Hide’n’Seek Present
- Go Swimming
- Bake Cookies for Santa
- Make Reindeer Food
- Open a Christmas Present
We had 61 total but as of right now, this is what is planned on the calendar. I hope the boys enjoy it as much as I’m going to.
