I have just hung up our home made advent calendar - yes, a few days late but that just means a whole bundle of goodies to start with!
This is so simple, re-usable and the best part is, you can fill it with anything you like - sweets, stickers, pencils, games, whatever you're happy for your little ones to have.
All you will need is envelopes, numbers (stickers, stamps - whatever you have to hand), string / twine for hanging, pegs and the goodies.
The countdown to Christmas has begun!
