This year, instead of buying a chocolate advent calendar for the children how about an Advent Activity Calendar? No piece of chocolate and cardboard “tat” that gets eaten in two days. Our Christmas Advent Activity Calendar idea is designed to make the whole of December a memory for the family to cherish. It’s 25 days of activities that the whole family can do together and look back on with a smile of the best Christmas yet.
This is put together in a rough date order with consideration of weekends and breaking up from school so you achieve maximum family involvement. But don’t feel pressured into keeping the order, it’s more of a guide than a hard and fast rule. Also don’t feel that you have to stick to these ones, add your own! The aim is to make December magical and memorable.
Here is the list of activities if you just want to copy and paste it for your own planners or alternatively print out the image and stick it on your fridge so everyone can see what fun you are going to have this year.
