Colorful Envelopes

Envelope Advent Calendar
Credit: Ted + Chelsea Cavanaugh

Gather colorful envelopes, washi tape, stickers, pom-poms, and stamps, and use pushpins to stick them onto a piece of corkboard. Number each envelope and place a small treat or a slip of paper with a fun holiday-themed to-do inside.(Psst ... save the candy for the last few days, since anything other than that may register as a disappointment once your child has gotten one piece!)

Countdown Calendar

Toilet Paper Advent Calendar

Recycle some toilet paper tubes into this snowy Christmas countdown.

What You'll Need: 24 cardboard tubes, acrylic craft paint, security envelopes, snowflake hole punch, sewing machine, cork board, mini clothespins, ribbons or lace, stamp pad and numeral stamps

Make It: Close your toilet paper tubes by running the bottoms through a sewing machine. Then, paint your tubes white and let them dry. Punch out snowflakes from blue security envelopes, and glue them on the tops of your tubes. Use a blue stamp pad to add numbers to the bottom edge. Wrap your ribbon or lace fabric around the corkboard and tack them in place -- make four rows to fit all 24 days. Using clothespins, hang your tubes onto the corkboard.

Hanging Advent Calendar

Handmade Hanging Advent Calendar
Credit: Dane Tashima

With this handmade Advent calendar, the Christmas excitement starts now! To make, use low-tack masking or artist’s tape to create the outlines of trees, then paint with acrylic paints. Let dry completely, then add vinyl number stickers (available at office-supply stores) for each day. (Note that you’ll need 13 1’s and 8 2’s.) Finish with clothespins in a variety of sizes for stumps and to hang on the tree from strings. Instead of putting in the usual tiny treats, stuff each paper bag with a love note or a prompt for a fun family activity.

Your kids will flip over this upside-down Christmas craft. Using holiday fabrics, cut and sew (or glue) pieces of fabric into cone shapes. Hot glue a white pom-pom to the bottom of each cone. Finish off each hat by sewing or gluing a thick band of fabric to the top of the cone—add a red button to each one and then hang a numbered tag by wrapping string around the button. Line up your Santa hats and attach them to twine with clothespins.

Advent Ornaments

Advent Calendar
Credit: Aimee Herring

Each day, your child can pull out a tiny sweet treat or a mini ornament to stick on the tree.

What You'll Need: 17-x-17-inch piece of green felt, scissors, 22-x-35-inch piece of light blue felt, glue gun, four 2-x-15-inch strips of red felt, white adhesive felt numbers, 26-x-3/8-inch wood dowel, assorted colored felt, hook Velcro, ribbon

Make It: Enlarge the tree template (see below) by 300 percent. Fold the green felt in half, then place the template flush against the folded edge. Trace and cut through both layers of fabric; unfold. Hot-glue the tree to light blue felt. Center the strips of red felt below the tree and hot-glue only the bottom edge of each strip to the base. Create 6 pockets by gluing the left edge of strip to base felt, then adding a vertical line of hot glue every 2 1/2 inches until you reach the right edge. Label the 24 pockets with felt numbers. Fold base felt back 1 1/2 inches at top of calendar; secure edge with hot glue, and pass dowel through channel. Then, make 24 holiday icons from assorted colored felt and adhere a small piece of hook Velcro to the back of each ornament; tuck one into each pocket. Tie ribbon to each end of dowel to hang.

  • Print the tree template.

Clever Countdown

With its 24 openings, a mini-muffin pan makes a perfect base for a treat-filled Advent calendar. Because the numbered coverings are held on by magnets, you'll be able to bake with the pan again after Christmas.

1. Cut 24 circles 2 1/4 inches wide from a 12- by 24-inch adhesive magnetic sheet. Adhere them to patterned paper, then cut them out.

2. With a 1-inch circular punch, make 24 paper circles. Number them and use a glue stick to attach them to the magnetic circles.

3. If you'd like to hang the muffin pan with a ribbon, make two holes (see tip below).

4. Fill the muffin wells with tiny toys, stickers, bite-size candies, notes, and activity suggestions.

Crafter's Tip: To hang the pan on a wall, set one rim on a block of wood and use a hammer and a nail to make two holes. Loop a ribbon through them and tie.

Seal your kids' presents and let them open one envelope every day.

What You'll Need: envelopes (in red, green, white, and pink), number stickers, hole punch, string, bulletin board, thumbtacks

Once all your envelopes are full, punch a small hole in the top, left corner, and thread a piece of string through to hang. Attach lines of string across a bulletin board with thumbtacks, and then tie your envelopes across the string.
