1,001 ways to reinvent the Advent calendar

Advent calendars are great: they allow children, for whom the concept of time is still abstract, to keep track of the days left before Christmas. This year, instead of the usual chocolate countdown, why not switch things up with one of these creative alternatives? • Family fun. Fill each calendar square with a voucher that the kids can trade in for a fun activity, such as going to the movies, building a snowman or baking cookies.

name of a different Christmas story to read — or make up — with your children each day. You could also include new Christmas carols you’d like to learn and sing. • Good deeds. Swap out candies for a daily good deed for the kids to do for family members or neighbours. You could include doing the dishes with Mom or helping a sibling put away his toys, for example. • Discoveries. Teach your kids a new word each day; ideally something having to do with the holidays. You could also teach

them about a different tradition that peo- ple celebrate around Christmastime in another part of the world. You’ll probably learn a few things yourself! • Recipes. Whip up a dish a day with the kids. Choose different desserts, or even 24 delicious cookie recipes. One thing is certain: you won’t run out of holiday desserts!

Envelopes, numbered socks that you can decorate and hang like a garland, a Christ- mas village made of different-sized boxes, empty toilet paper rolls arranged in the shape of a Christmas tree — there are a thousand and one ways to create a uni- que Advent calendar with your children. Have fun!
