Our Advent Calendar

We did it. We made an advent calendar. Before December even started. Dang we are good.

So here is what it is made out of

Twine.

Ribbon.

Clothes pins with the numbers 1-24 on them.

and....shrinky-dinks!

So we traced christmas-y pictures on to blank shrinky dink plastic, colored them with sharpies, baked them, put them on twine, clipped them to ribbon... and lived happily ever after.

Here are some pictures. Hope you enjoy!

and if you are wondering why there is a hippo in the mix, it's because of the song "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas." It's a guilty pleasure.
