Other suggestions
-
To enlarge the Santa stencil do an overhead projector copy. Using the overhead projector, project the stencil onto a large piece of white paper. Trace the picture of Santa onto the white paper. This could be used as a class Santa Advent Calendar.
- Instead of adding cotton wool balls, they could be already attached, to be removed and revealing a message to the child underneath. A quick and easy way to attach the cotton wool is with small pieces of velcro. This means that the Santa Advent Calendar can be used again.
- Another simple Advent calendar can be made by gluing 24 pegs to a piece of firm cardboard. Put a joke, puzzle or a message into 24 small envelopes. Peg each envelope onto the cardboard. The pegs, backboard and envelopes can be decorated or simply sprayed with gold spray paint.
