Advent calendars

Advent train

Advent chest

Mini Christmas stockings

I thought these were fab.

I thought they would be good hung on a string with a little surprise in side (used as an advent calendar), I have made some already and if I can do them anyone can. Perhaps you could get some parents/grandparents to knit them for your classroom. Each one took me half an hour to make.





Here is the link to the pattern. Scroll down and open the PDF file.

Christmas boxes

My daughter and I spent several hours one afternoon making these little boxes. They are so simple and look great. You could make them out of old birthday cards too. Most juniors and probably year 2s could manage them.

Printable templates

I found this site today and I think it's worth a mention. A fabulous selection of printables from envelopes to clocks and lampshades. Have a good look around the site for lots of other useful things.
