If you liked Mari’s Easy Printable Advent Calendar from last year (#9 on your list), you should see what she did for this year using an up purposed tomato cage! Here’s a link to her blog for all sorts of crafty goodness: http://mydigitalartstudio.com/

There’s also another interesting and super easy example of an Advent Calendar on the Hybrid Chick blog: http://www.thehybridchick.com/2010/11/mini-bag-advent-calendar/

Enjoy!

I have been looking for something fun and inexpensive for a new advent calendar for my children-that did not require velcro(too many lost pieces from our old one!) Now I just have to choose which one! The birdies are my fave!

Very neat ideas. I especially like the birds.

I’m looking for something similar to the Boo Buddy but for Christmas. I know I’ve seen it, but I can’t remember what it is called. Anyone know?
