Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive December 2007: Advent Calendar
Usually we make it to the mall to buy one of those chocolate advent calendars for each kid, but we didn't get to this year. So I decided to make them one. I used paper towel and toilet paper tubes, tissue paper, and tape. And, of course, the goodies to go inside each piece of the wreath. The piece at the bottom that looks like a piece of candy has a better prize and is to be opened on the 24th. I wrote the numbers on them randomly so they still have to hunt for the correct one to open each day.
Well, nevermind! No matter what I do, can't get the photo small enough! LOL!
aww try again, i want to see it!

I can't wait to see it. I have never had one, but have always wanted one.
What a cute idea! Mine are finally old enough and I bought them their first ones this year. I told them at bedtime tonight that tomorrow we would start a very special family tradition and explained a bit about advent.
I e-mailed it to you! Thanks Dawn!
Oh, how cute! So, they just rip the paper, to get the goodie? What a cool idea. At our house, we'd have to keep them up high somewhere, or the dog would be ripping the paper open herself!
Thanks Dawn! It was kind of a quick job that I did today. I started to do it in the shape of a Christmas tree, but decided I liked the wreath.
Cute Advent calendar!
It's so pretty!! Kudos to you for doing it!
Very creative.
We've always done an Advent Calendar but ours is like Marcia's. I remember the chocolate ones from when I was very small but we had a quilted one when I was growing up. I LOVE your idea, Adena!!!
My kids are using the Advent Calendar I had when I was a kid. It is fabric and has Santa and Mrs Clause on it and a little mouse you move through the days to the 24th, it has little numbered pockets the mouse is put into.
I only have one for both kids to share. I made it out of fabric and it has little pockets. I usually just out in two chocolate candies each night.
I love that and wish that I'd thought of it.
Better to make` your own, I learned today. My son hates the little chocolate pieces! My daughter likes them, though, so she will probably be eating double!
We also do an Advent Calendar. I wanted to make my own, this one:
I love your calendar. And so easy!
We also do an Advent Calendar. I wanted to make this one, but my in-laws bought us one last year so I have to use that one. If anyone is interested, the instructions are here:
