Here is the printable 2010 Activity Advent Calendar! ~Countdown to Christmas with an Activity Each Day~ This was B’s favorite part of Christmas last year!

Bring the snow inside with this pretend play shaving cream snow. Add a few cards or animal figurines and let the creativity begin. We’ve had some shaving cream fun before but then I saw shaving cream used as snow so we gave it a try. I had a few different pans filled with shaving cream …
Day 20 of the Activity Advent Calendar – Make Jingle Bell Bracelets I got a bag of jingle bells from Hobby Lobby and today we strung them on ribbon to make jingle bell bracelets and ornaments.
