Hello December! As a kid we used to always grow up waking up on December 1st with an advent calendar from my Grandma. I was so excited to continue the tradition with the girls this year now that they are a little older….I wanted to the tradition to be a mix of fun and a little bit of “giving back” for the season so they grow up understanding that it’s not all about gifts and candy. I came up with this “sugar free” version that is 100% customizable every year!
DIY “Sugar Free” Holiday Advent Calendar ?
MATERIALS NEEDED:
– Scarf hanger from Ikea (similar)
– Gift tags (mine are from Target)
– Sharpie (or permanent marker)
– Small ornaments
INSTRUCTIONS:
Start with the gift tags and number them 1 – 25. Then on the back create your custom message or activity for the day. Mine were a mix of holiday traditions and some new “giving back” themes.
Then simply tie the tag onto the scarf hanger with your ornaments. Each day we turn over 1 tag and one ornament. Pretty easy right? The best part is you can use this year after year OR change it up with different messages and ornaments.
Here is to a happy and healthy December!!
