Step 4Hanging
We like to hang our advent calendar in our hallway, an often under utilised wall space for the rest of the year.
I use a piece of twine to hang my calendar on, but you could use more colourful ribbon, Christmas lights or Blu-tak them directly to the wall in some more random and abstract way. Perhaps create a mobile using a coat hanger, or make them part of your tree decoration.
I've used colourful mini pegs to attach the tubes to the twine, but you could use full sized pegs (if the person who does the clothes washing in the house can do without them for a few weeks) or punch a whole in the top of the rolls and use a curtain ring.
Finally, pop your activities into the tubes.
Then for each day of December, have your children remove the activity from the numbered tube. We like to do it in the morning as we're excited all day with the expectation of the activity we'll do in the afternoon or evening.
I hope you and your family enjoy making and participating in the lead-up to Christmas!
