Last year I put together this advent calendar for Little Bit and she loved it. She was so excited to get up everyday and pick a card to see what was on the agenda for that day. This year we are winging it a little more. I still want to have fun activities to do together but didn't but up the advent calendar.
The past couple years I have seen the lego advent calendars and thought they would be fun when Little Bit got older. Well I saw a good deal on this Smurf one and decided to try it out this year. The only problem is it's not here yet. So we will start a few days late on that one but I don't think she will mind playing catch up. She loves building!
I also wrapped all of our Christmas books and have them in a basket by the tree. Little Bit can unwrap one each day til Christmas and we will read the story together. This is something that I have worked over the last couple years accumulating books. We still don't have 25 yet, about 18 I think, but I know we will pick up a few more before the season is over and we can read our favorites twice if need be! A few places we have found reasonably priced Christmas books in the past are...Scholastic book orders {they always have a few selections for only $1!}, local library book sales, Goodwill, and clearance sales after Christmas. I got the hardback of Llama, Llama Holiday Drama for a steal at Target 2 years ago!!!...love that series!
Pinterest is another great place to find ideas to do over the holidays. I just came across this spot the difference printable that Little Bit and I can do today!
What traditions or plans do you have for celebrating this holiday season?!
