Advent Calendars are, of course, always a fun way to ring in the season, but why not take the humble open-the-door-for-a-treat tradition up a notch and create a 25 Days of Christmas Project. Instead of (or in addition to) a treat, give kids one Christmasy task per day. Anything from “Watch a Christmas Movie” to “Make and Ornament and Give it to a Neighbor!” can be included in the tasks and the kids will be making memories as they wait for the big day. These tags in envelopes are the perfect way to present the task on the day, just tuck the pile away somewhere secret and hand over a new numbered envelope as they count down to Christmas!

Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: 5 minutes to decorate+ thinking up tasks

Things you’ll need:
Tags in envelops
Number stamps
Stamp pad
Pen

Things to do:
1. Stamp the numbers 1-25 on the outside of each of the envelopes so there is one for each day leading up to Christmas.


2. Fill out each tag with a task for the day.
