Can you believe it is almost Christmas again? Time to start thinking about how you will make this Christmas memorable…We have started a tradition of counting down to Christmas with little surprise bags each day starting on the 1st of December. We had these paper bags hanging from a string near our Christmas tree one year, and last year I made this rustic farmhouse style advent calendar with fun stuff to do too!

This year we are combining the bag idea, but it is filled with a combination of activities, sweeties and novelty toys!

A box
25 paper bags
Circles numbered 1-25
Small toys, sweets, activities you place inside the bags
Instruction strips(optional)

These are the items inside the bags together with instruction strips:
