[...] Advent from We Are That Family She gives a fantastic list of Advent activities to do – one per day to put in an advent calendar. I used many of her ideas last year – loved them! My Advent calendar has only 25 boxes, and as the length of Advent varies from year to year, I’m not always officially “Adventing” on the correct days – however – at least I’m in the spirit! [...]

thank you for your list! It was a great jumping off point for me to think about what i want to do with my kids. I may share a similar idea soon and incorporate some of your great ideas.

Question - what is the link for the paper snowflakes? Your doc says "see this site for patterns" but there is no link.

Thanks!

I love your advent activities list. Thanks so much for sharing. My favorite is the first activity—write a letter to your compassion child—we have not written to ours in a few months and NEED to do that one. Thanks for the reminder!
I have been secretly following your blog for months now and absolutely love it! Thanks for all of the great ideas!

We do this every year and I'm always looking for new ideas, especially for how we can serve/remember/think about others. Thank you SO much for all the wonderful ideas!! I think I'll post mine… I just have to get it together first!

Hi! Thank you for such great Advent Calander ideas! When the kids were smaller we would put very small gifts in…but now that they are older (4 and 5) I like the idea of doing activities instead of gifts that get tossed aside an hour later!
Just one question, I can't get the recipe for the bubble bath confetti or the ideas for the snowflake patterns. For some reason I can't get them to show up…I was wondering if you could send them to me??? Thanks again, your blog inspires me everyday!!!

I love advent calenders, they are so much fun. We have a tree with pockets on it, I put a fun thing in each pocket for the children, they just love it. Fun Fun Fun.

I've had an advent calander for a few years, now is a good time to dust it off and put it to use. Thanks for the ideas…
