Countdown to Christmas
Each year our family draw a name out of a hat to decide which sibling, spouse and children we will be buying Christmas presents for. This year my husband and I were assigned my brother Ashley and his 3 Children aged 4, 3 and 8months. The holiday catalogue showed an example of a perfect countdown to Christmas (pg 12-13) What a GREAT idea… instead of using muslin bags I decided to make sourcream containers.
For the containers, I used the Seasons of Style Designer Series Paper Stack. So easy no cutting necessary.
To make the containers apply the adhesive like this (I recommend using Sticky Strip)
Roll the container into a tube, than pinch one end closed. Add treats (or whatever you want to put inside), I put a couple of wrapped lollies plus a note advising what the activity for the day would be. than pinch the other end closed in the opposite direction.
Attached the tag using a staple, then adhere the button using a glue dot to hide the staple and your done!
Some of the activities I included:
Make Christmas Gift tags
Make Rocky Road and add a gift tag that you made and give to someone special
Movie Night and sleepover party
Make pancake breakfast for mum & Dad
Skype Grammie & Grandpa in Prague and tell them about all your adventures
Decorate a Gingerbread house
See the Christmas Lights
Enjoy an ice-cream Sundae
Add a decoration to the Christmas Tree
Don’t forget to leave Santa some treats.
Read a Christmas Story
Do a fun family Activity (Bubble blowing)
I would love to hear idea you may have to add to the 12 days of Christmas activities
