Felt Snowman Advent Calendar
This is my toddlers favorite advent calendar. It’s very simple to make and your kids can play with it all month long. I made a snowman design but you could do a Santa, nativity scene, etc.
Instructions:
- Begin with picking your design. You will need a large piece of felt for your background.
- Cut out different shapes using different colors.
- Make sure you have enough pieces for your countdown. I did twelve instead of 25.
- If some of your pieces are bigger they may need a small piece of velcro added to help it stick.
- Add fun sensory objects like buttons and pompoms.
- Start your countdown!
