DIY: Advent Calendar tutorial round up
Its not to late to make an advent calendar for this year. Now that our kids are old enough to understand the meaning behind Christmas and the advent calendar, we have decided that this year we would start a new tradition in our family.
The great thing about making your own is that you don’t need to fill them with chocolates and lollies, sure the occasional treat is ok, but you could fill them with little surprises, poems or even something for them to do. One thing that I plan on including in our advent calendar is that on one day they are to choose a toy that they have and we will donate that to charity, on another day we will also go out a buy a new toy and donate that to a charity that gives toys to less advantaged children at Christmas.
Here is a round up of some easy advent calendar tutorials that you may like to make.
It’s getting closer to the end of another school year… time to think of something special for the wonderful teacher who’s helped your child learn and grow!
Chocolates? Soap? How about something a little different… like these fun cards from OOAKLY.
Featuring a removable personalised badge that your teacher can wear or just hang onto as a keepsake, the OOAKLY teacher’s pet card is a sweet and simple gift idea sure to please.
The card features a photo print of original OOAKLY artwork created especially with teachers in mind.
Cards are just $10 which includes free postage to anywhere in Australia…
Details can be found on the OOAKLY website or Facebook page .
Taking part in a handmade Christmas doesn’t need to stop at gift giving. What about Christmas decorations? They are so easy to make and will cost half the price of shop bought ones. Many are easy enough that you can get the kids involved.
