Advent Calendar Fillers for Kids

The family Christmas tradition of Advent, often begins on December 1. These Advent Calendar Fillers for Kids will fill your home with the magical delight of the holiday season as they prepare for the coming of Christ and Christmas.

Advent Calendar Fillers for Kids

An Advent Calendar was something that came late to us in Christmas Traditions. It was something I did growing up by lighting a Christmas candle and because I was unaware of other types of calendars, it wasn’t a tradition we formed in our own home until my girls adopted it on their own.

What is Advent?

Advent means the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event. For Christmas, the season of Advent is the time of four Sundays and weeks before Christmas. In Latin, Advent means coming. For Christmas, this is the coming of Christ or the birth of Jesus. Christians use this season of Advent to prepare and remember the real meaning of Christmas. The birth of Christ.

What is an Advent Calendar?

An Advent Calendar is a popular Christmas Tradition for Families. Typically beginning on December 1st, an Advent calendar is a 24-day calendar used to count the days of Advent in anticipation of Christmas. The start date of a religious Advent calendar can vary year to year based on the church, but in every day American tradition, the calendar begins on the first day of December.

On each additional day of advent, a box (envelope, bag, present) is opened. There is only one opening a day. The point of the calendar is not to countdown, but rather to count up towards the days before Christmas. The internet is big on the debate of, do you start with the first number (one) or with the highest number on the calendar. While the entire Advent community is torn, as a family we have started with day one. Think about it like this: if you were using candles for your advent calendar, you’d want to end up with 24 lit candles, not one candle lit.

Homemade Advent Calendar DIY

More and more the tradition of Advent Calendars are beginning to stick. While it used to be hard to find an advent calendar, they can commonly be found online (like Amazon) or in stores like Kohl’s and Target. We prefer turning this into a Christmas craft with a Homemade Advent Calendar. Take a look at he 25+ ideas we have gathered for your own Homemade Advent Calendar.

Advent Calendar for Adults

While there are plenty of fun advent calendar for adults, we primarily will focus on advent calendars for kids. That being said, we wanted to give our bigger a few ideas to keep your creative juices flowing and unique gift ideas filled.

Winter ONEderland First Birthday Party Ideas

Winter ONEderland First Birthday Party Ideas – A Winter Wonderland party in hues of silver, white, pink and blue is perfect for a child with a winter birthday.

Winter ONEderland First Birthday Party Ideas

What is a Winter ONEderland Party?

A winter ONEderland party is a first birthday party with a winter-scape theme. It can incorporate a lumberjack theme for boys or a Nutcracker theme for girls. Or stray from the the theme and crate your own snow filled home full of magic and delight.

Winter Wonderland Party Food

Stick with a color pallet and work on the food from there. We suggest silver, white and either blue or pink. I lean closer to the girls first birthday parties are pink, blue are blue – but have at it – whatever color you choose.

When picking the theme, it’s important to have food that matches the colors. Sugar cookies with food coloring mixed with royal frosting can go with every color pallet. Every party goer will have their inner child come out with Clear Rock Candy Sticks. Snowballs can be made with white powdered sugar donut holes. Additionally, white powdered sugar donuts with shots of milk are a sweet treat.

To counter the sweet, don’t forget to add the salt. Sea salt can be added to many sweet treats and look like crystals. Cheese and popcorn can be a good balance. Carrots can be snowmen noses. Consider telling your invited guests, that this is a dessert party and have them eat lunch or dinner ahead.

Where drinks are concerned, have a place marker labeled “melted snow flakes” for your water table. For another drink option, add a hot cocoa bar. You could also look at our S’mores Recipes for ideas on this winter tablescape. For mix-ins, add bowls of marshmallows, whip cream, cinnamon sticks, and white chocolate spoons.

First Birthday Party Present Ideas

Sensory toys are great for this age group. They are just coming into the age of discovering with their hands and being able to hold and explore and option.

First Birthday Toys Include:

What’s fun about camping?

Even if you’re not a huge fan of the outdoors, you’ll still have fun camping! Camping is great for families because it requires teamwork. You’ll get a lot of quality time, make some great memories, and bring the whole family together. Plus, it’s a great way to get kids out of the house and give them a healthy dose of fresh air. These ideas for camping will make the whole event easier so your family can focus on having fun, not the bare necessities!

That are many things you can do when camping with the family. If looking for a list of ideas, make sure to include our Camping Games and our Camping Treasure Hunt. Both bring excitement to the campfire and create amazing memories and family traditions.
