advent craft calendar 2 year oldSasha loves to do different crafts, activities that involve sorting, paint, messy things. I wanted to do a fun advent craft/activity calendar for her so she could enjoy an activity every day during December. It also helps me to stay organize and not get in a panic mode when S is bored and I need to immediately come up with an activity for her. Our baby #2 is coming within a week so all activity had to be easy and simple, something I could pull off while taking care of a newborn. Advent craft calendar for a 2-year-old comes to the rescue.

I also thought it would be fun to receive a new task for a day in this fun box with Santa that I put to the wall with picture hanging strips.advent craft calendar 2 year old
