25 Days of Christmas Activities 2015

It’s that time of year again! Time for our activity advent! I’ve been doing this with the kids since 2009 (thanks to a post I read on A Peek Inside the Fishbowl) and have loved it every since. As the kids have gotten older, they’ve clearly become quite attached to it as well. Last week, they kept reminding me at the 1st of December was coming and that we needed to get our activities ready!

You can click here to read the activities from previous years, as with most things, the list has grown with my children!

I can’t recommend doing this enough! (note: When I print the slips of paper to tuck in our calendar, I don’t date them because sometimes, I have to fiddle around with the activity and change it!)
