Advent Calendar Activities

AdventMittens

I've always loved the idea of the Advent Calendar and now that I have a 2-year-old, I'm really into this idea. I knit the Smitten Advent Calendar Mittens this year and decided to fill them with chocolate and activities. 


Advent

Initially I was going to just fill the mittens with chocolates but then a friend (with a toddler and a newborn) said she was going to do activities and I decided I couldn't go the lazy route. Really the activities are the cool part of the advent calendar along with all the memories we'll be making! (Thanks for the inspiration, Kelsey!)
