We have done an advent calendar where Ben gets to open a little door each day and find a treat or a paper describing an activity we will get to do. He has loved seeing what each day brings and can hardly contain himself from opening the next one. So far we haven’t had any early opening, mostly because Mom threatened to take away any prizes that were opened before it was time. Here are a few of our highlights. Some were repeated, but so far all have been enjoyed.
· Build a gingerbread house and decorate it (foam craft kit).
· Have a special treat after dinner.
· New ornaments for our tree.
· Make and play an instrument using a cup and string.
· Watch a special Christmas movie.
· Go to the Christmas Train!
· Make and eat S’mores.
· Go on a tour of Christmas lights.
· Bake cookies.
· Wrap Christmas gifts for teachers.
· Christmas tattoos to play with.
