They’re designed to suit a family of any age, as with a little imagination, they can be adapted.

SOME SIMPLE ADVENT CALENDAR IDEAS TO GO WITH THIS DOWNLOAD

1. You could simply place your cards into numbered envelopes and string them up with ribbon and pegs.

2. Or you could sew mini felt stockings and peg them to twine with miniature wooden craft pegs.

3. If printed on paper under 300gsm, you could fold the activity cards into decorated match boxes or little papier-mache craft boxes: add big numbers and place them in a basket ready to be picked out each day.

4. If printed on lightweight paper, they can always be rolled or folded to fit in to teeny weeny calendar vessels.

And one day soon, I hope to have my Père Noël Advent Calendar available as a downloadable pattern and tutorial. That was how these cards came to be - for my own family - and they have become a much-loved part of our Christmas tradition ever since.
