ADVENT CALENDAR: Filler Ideas For Toddlers

 

Last year I filled Lincoln’s advent calendar with little toys and books and it was great but this year I wanted it to be more interactive.  We love doing projects and we definitely don’t need any more little toys rolling around the living room so I decided to go with an activity/craft theme. I gathered some pre-made craft kits from Michaels and Dollarama and then put together some of my own activities based on ideas I found on Pinterest.

It will be a great way to spend time together and make some new Christmas memories! I went through December in the calendar and made sure the better or more time-consuming activities landed on the weekend or days that we don’t have a class or other commitments. Is it crazy that I’m counting down until our countdown begins????

This is what I’m going to fill our advent calendar with this year:
