ADVENT CALENDAR
This advent calendar will be treasured for years to come. It makes a great gift for grandchildren, nieces and nephews, friends, teachers, etc. Each round tin is held onto the cookie sheet with a magnet. The tins are numbered from 24 down to 1. The tins are large enough to put a treat or two inside. You could also put a slip of paper inside that tells where a small gift is hidden OR a piece of paper that lists a scripture or a spiritual thought...what a wonderful way to remember the reason for the season! And speaking of "reason"... I put a piece of "Riesen" chocolate covered caramel candy inside of mine to remind my family of the reason for the season.
There are a few options when it comes to mounting or hanging this calendar. You could put magnets on the back and mount it on a fridge or you could drill holes in the top and hang it with ribbon.
