Christmas Advent Calendar

I made a little advent calendar for Blaine to count down to Christmas. I got the idea off KSL's Studio 5. They have some fun crafts. Here are some pictures. I hope Blaine has fun with it!

Here's the calendar. I used a 24 count muffin tin. You could also use a
12 count muffin tin and do the 12 days of Christmas. I'm thinking about
putting ribbon on it so I can hang it up. But I'm not sure how I
want to do that part so for now it will just sit up on our shelf.

This is the inside of the tin. They each have a piece of

Christmas candy inside. Then some of them also have a little

piece of paper that has a Christmas activity on it.

Here is one of the Christmas activities. There is also color a Christmas picture,

sing Christmas carols...

I used magnet strips to hold the numbers onto the muffin pan.

I also put a ziplock bag on the back to put the numbers in once we used them.

The bag is also held on with magnet strips.
