This is my fun twist on an ADVENT Calendar.

I went to the Dollar Tree and grabbed a variety of colorful socks.  They aren’t Christmasy colors –just fun bright colors in solids, polka dots, stripes and argyles.  Most of the socks came in packages of 3 so it wasn’t much to get the variety that I wanted for 24 days worth of “STOCKINGS”.

I grabbed Two-12″ x 24″ Canvas wrapped canvas from Canavs Corp

8 black hooks

and

twine from Canvas Corp

24 clothespins

I printed off the numbers 1 through 24 to look like miniature tags

scissors to cut the numbered tags

I used super glue from Gorilla Glue to glue the numbered tags to the clothes pins

Next you want to write up notes for each of the 24 days–something that you will DO with the kids like:

Watch a Christmas Movie together

Make Christmas Cookies

Go for a drive and look for the Best Decorated House

One on One time with Mom or Dad

Go for a family walk

Make an ornament

Dance to Christmas Music

Write a letter to Santa Claus

Those are just a few of the ideas.

Now I have a question for you
