Are you looking for a fun alternative to a sugar filled chocolate advent calendar this Christmas? Make our DIY Christmas Tree Advent Calendar’s<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Making an advent calendar with your child is a brilliant way to help them deal with the excitement and anticipation of waiting for Christmas. I’m sure you can remember how it felt when you were a child in the run up to Christmas Day. It couldn’t come soon enough for me and my sister!<\/p>\n Providing your child with a visual aid to count down the days, will help to show them how much time they have left to wait before Santa arrives with their presents. This year we have been busy making Christmas Tree Advent Calendars<\/strong> with a fun sibling twist.<\/p>\n Over here at Crafty Kids at Home we are all about getting all of your kids involved in the same arts and crafts activity. <\/a>We are all busy parents and care givers and we don’t always have the time to set up a different activity for each of our children. With a bit of careful planning and tweaking, it is possible to adapt many different activities to make them suitable to do with all of your children together. When planning our DIY Advent Calendars this year, this was very much at the forefront of my mind. So together with my 6 and 8 year sons, we came up with a great idea for a project that they could work on not only together, but also for each other.<\/p>\n
