DIY Advent Calendars
15 DIY advent calendars ideas!
I am so stinkin’ excited the Christmas is quickly approaching! I know you may hate me for saying this, but I’ve already started planning for and shopping for gifts this year. I told you I was excited!
There is something so magical about celebrating such a cherished holiday with little ones whose faces light up at the mention of a Christmas Tree or of Santa. Now that my son is 3 and has a good grasp of numbers and the concept of counting, I will definitely be creating an Advent Calendar this year. I love that we’ll be able to practice counting while getting more excited for the Big Day! I’ve rounded up some of my favorites that I’m thinking about making for my family; I hope you find some inspiration here too!
