Wooden Boxes: A Mini Advent Calendar

With children you can not start early enough to tinker - this time, matchboxes should be "transformed" into an advent calendar:

Materials:

  • 24 matchboxes (any format) or larger boxes
  • colorful paper
  • pencil
  • eraser
  • colored pencils
  • Glue
  • scissors
  • tweezers
  • Geodreieck for the right angles
  • Decorations such. B. Glitzersterne, Borders ... and
  • Chocolate or other mini sweets

Action:

  1. Empty matchboxes.
  2. Laminate the two actual firing surfaces and a surface connecting them in one with colored paper.
  3. On a sheet ... write the numbers 1 to 24 and possibly decorate ... or draw something to draw.
  4. Stick the finished "cover sheet" onto the still empty matchbox surface.
  5. Count candies (!) And fill - done!

If you like, you can write the numbers with a good sense of proportion right on the rather small surface - I have designed this after consultation with our little ones on the computer and then printed. She has painted with love the numbers and designed the free space.
