Our Advent Calendar Activities

(You’ll see these again starting December 1st. Look out.)

Also, there’s tons of ideas for easy and cheap advent calendars on Pinterest, even just using envelopes.  Or there’s this one at Land of Nod which is super cute for a mere $35, shipped.  Which is a really good price for a reusable fabric Advent Calendar.

These aren’t in the correct order, I’ll do that after I write them out and put them in the calendar.
