First, here are a few pictures of our Advent ornament garland.
So far, we have done Day 1 and Day 2 and worked on Day 3 today. We will finish Day 3 and Day 4 tomorrow.
Day 1 we made an Advent chain.
Macy bug is holding our chain and as you can see, there is a star at the top that reads:
One Christmas night, so long age
A star shone down so all would know
That in a manger, on that night
A Savior was born, our guiding light!
Now Christmas time is almost here
A very special time of year
When everyone anticipates
That night we can celebrate!
As you remove a link each night
Remember the star that shone so bright
And told the world of Jesus' birth
The Son of God, here on earth!!!
I found this little craft on a website I found off of Confessions of a Homeschooler website. I , for the life of me, can not remember it right now but when I do, I promise I will share it with you.
Day 2 we made paper snowflakes. We have decided to only put our homemade ornaments on the tree this year. Here are a few we made:
Day 3 we made Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments and as I type, they are drying, so I will have to do Day 3 and 4 together tomorrow!
For Day 4 we will be making reindeer ornaments.
We are having so much fun doing this and I think our tree with our homemade ornaments will be our best Christmas tree to date!!!
I love the idea of only putting on homemade ornaments! Your little artists did a wonderful job!!! have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Your house looks so festive with all of the ornaments and lights.
ReplyDeleteLove it! So each idea is in the cards on the advent garland?
ReplyDeleteYes, I found this cute idea on Confessions of a Homeschooler and she provided this free download of the ornaments. I used some of her ideas and some of my own.
ReplyDeleteCool;) I seem to have forgotten to get ours done this year...
