Each year I try to do some sort of fun thing for Advent. This year we’re doing a combination of things. First, I made these cute little numbered ornaments for our Advent activities.

You simply print the ornaments, then flip and print the back side. Next punch them out with a 2” circle punch, or cut with scissors. Then using mini-clothespins attach each one to a mini-Christmas tree or a string of garland. Each day take one ornament down and do whatever activity is on the back. For this you can print my activities on the backs (they are included in the download) or you can print just the ornaments and write in your own activities.
