Unusual Christmas calendar

For children, the anticipation of Christmas is especially exciting if you can actually count how much time remains until the day (which does not lessen the questions "How much longer?" But is easier person to the calendar, which counts only child every day) .
Unusual Christmas calendar
What you need:

  • cardboard toilet paper
  • colorful crepe paper
  • scissors
  • Scotch tape
  • little time

Time to work: about 1 hour.


Preparation calendar is simple: cut piece of crepe paper large enough to remain "ears" that hang them high. They look like candy, making them even more attractive. Paper can also be plain paper applications, but it is not as impressive, if you krephartiya, gift wrap will stay beautiful.

Inside the Candy Christmas calendar 'filling' is to your liking: you can put 24 different activities, something to do every day, you can put small gifts if you do not mind, so that the child may lose the taste of the expectation of Christmas gifts or you can combine both.

Podarachetata and activities can be anything, depending on what your child enjoys - a small set of application, pechatcheta with Christmas themes, and hairpins bands for girls, notebook, writing, walking into a museum, making sweet, lazy TV night visit grandma, etc.

Once you put a gift or piece of paper with the inscription work on this day, gently wrap around the roll krephartiyata: This paper is thin and easily breaks. Covered with tape or with rapid adhesive. One end of the 'candy' tie with string, which leave long end, so you can hang it. If you prefer to order all 'candy' instead of suspension, the thread is unnecessary.

You can number them if you want certain activities to fall into the exact day, unless you do not like surprises. After one year of activities in the calendar, which falls on any order and was going to I'm not ready for them, you must inscribe calendar dates. I keep a second list of activities marked by days of hiding place, to be ready when the activity of the day requires my participation or any different materials.


Most people have gathered rolls of toilet paper, so you can disembowel 24 rolls - then use them slightly hampered because harder retain their shape without agar, but this is a minor annoyance. And you can, of course, to make 24 rolls alone, cardboard and glue.
