Holiday Craft


We have been working on this Advent calendar since the first of December and it's finally finished, now that we're halfway through the month. I am so excited about it! The idea came from Family Fun magazine Nov. edition.
We rummaged through old magazine looking for doors, windows and other Christmas feeling objects that could serve as a "door", cut them out and pasted them to red card stock. Then I took a craft knife and cut three sides to our pictures. We pasted the red card stock with all of our pictures on them to green card stock of the same size and viola! Mini windows where I wrote down a Christmas activity for us to do as a family every day of the month. Our activities include caroling together as a family, donating warm clothes to homeless shelter, baking Christmas cookies, family game night, craft night and more!! It came out so good and am looking forward to bringing it out next year and reminiscing on all of the memories we are creating.
Happy Holidays!!
