Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 foam board or large piece of cardboard
  • 26 plastic cups of any color
  • 7 pieces tissue paper 4 of one color and 3 of another, all cut into 4 squares (total of 25 pieces)
  • 25 rubber bands
  • 25 prizes
  • large bow

Instructions

  1. Start by placing your cups on the foam board wherever you want them to go.
  2. Once you’ve finalized your layout, hot glue the bottom of each cup and immediately place it in its spot on the board. Repeat this until you have a board full of cups with the open part of the cup facing up.
  3. Add a prize into each of the cups.
  4. Cut your tissue paper into squares so you have 25 total squares. Number your pieces of tissue paper 1 to 25.
  5. Once your tissue paper is ready, carefully place your first piece of tissue paper on top of a cup. Use a rubber band to secure the tissue paper around the edges of the cup, pushing the issue paper down so that the number is as close to the center of the cup as possible.
  6. Hot glue one more cup, this time with the bottom facing up, at the top of the board in the center row. Then hot glue a large bow to the top of the cup to add a bow to your present.
  7. Set the advent calendar up and you're ready to go.

Notes

  • Make room in your storage room or garage for this because you can reuse it over and over again by simply refilling with gifts and replacing the tissue paper!
  • Make one advent calendar per person unless they're mature enough to take turns punching and share what's inside.
