How to make the advent calendar
Setting up this advent calendar requires you to answer the following question:
Would you rather pull a question out of a jar or an envelope?
The answer to that question will give you a hint as to how the calendar works. The instructions are pretty obvious, if you ask me.
First, print out the advent calendar printable. You will need to enter your email in the form directly beneath this sentence.
Second, grab a pair of scissors and cut out the individual questions. Fold each slip of paper in half (if desired, not strictly necessary) and place them in a jar or envelope (remember that important question I asked!).
Alternatively, you can also use a reusable advent calendar with pockets or drawers, and add in a piece of candy, or some stickers for a little extra treat.
Lastly, every day, gather the kids around, pull out a question, read it out loud and listen to everyone answer it! Everyone can answer the same question.
