Christmastime is such a wonderful time of the year. It is a time of giving and making family memories to last a lifetime. We finally put all of the "orange" away and brought out the Christmas colors. Trimmed the tree and remembered all of our loved ones. And...it's not even December yet. It's just around the corner and I thought I'd make up an advent calendar. The challenge was to only use what I had in house.
I painted some frames turquoise and added red polka dot paper behind the glass of the picture frame. I then glued some twine around the back and clipped my numbers on. On the back of each numbered card is a fun thing to do as a family. Small as reading a favorite Christmas story and big as creating a ginger bread house from scratch.
You could totally put clues on the back of the cards for your family to find small treats or fun activities to do together this December. I didn't put treats on the cards because I think some people around here might just get to them before the intended date. Ahem....no naming. ha. Anyway, I love how it turned out. I hope you will be inspired to make one of your own and have lots of holiday fun this season! {Below is the printable I created.}
