Today – 10 DIY Homemade Advent Calendar Ideas for you to try
I love advent calendars and have been looking at vegan advent calendars this week for my daughter and teen advent calendars for my son. There are just so many fab ideas out there!
But I have to say I do like making them one too.
Over the next few weeks, I am going to share with you a bumper collection of DIY homemade advent calendar ideas.
I do love advent , do you and I believe that Christmas is an awesome time to get creative.
In my book Nature Craft and Play (Harper Collins, 2021) I share tons of ideas for Crafting in winter (and all year round) if you like to make your crafts form natural resources.
Anyway, sorry back to a my homemade advent ideas
I have way too many for just one post and don’t want to overwhelm you. Over the last few years, I have spent stupid amounts on advent calendars often opting for Lego or Playmobil ones. This year I am looking to do something different, more meaningful and one that costs me time and energy rather than money. I want to get creative and give my children an advent to remember.
