Kids can have fun with this homemade Advent Calendar craft - making an Advent Matchbox Tree! Then it is just up to you to fill with exciting treats. Open one draw a day during December and soon it will be Christmas!
You will need:
24 matchboxes
Green acrylic paint
Glue
Glitter and any other decoration that you would like
Number stickers
Instructions:
Glue a line of 6 matchboxes side by side.
Glue a line of 5 matchboxes on top of them. Then glue a line of 4 matchboxes on top of that, with 2 rows of 3 on top of those. Now glue on a row of 2 and finish with a single matchbox. You will have a pyramid of matchboxes.
When the glue is dry, paint the pyramid green.
Use number stickers to label to drawers 1-24.
Decorate the pyramid with glitter and anything else you like so it looks like a decorated tree.
Now fill up the drawers with little treats for Advent!
