ADVENT Calendar Activities To Try This Christmas

Snowman Cake Pops ☃️ How to: Prepare cake pop mix by combining cake with a small amount of buttercream to form a paste and mix in chocolate chips. Form equal sized balls using an ice cream scoop. Chill for 15 minutes. Dip lollipop sticks in melted chocolate and insert into the cake balls. Chill for a further 20 minutes or freeze for 5 minutes. Dip balls into chocolate and place on parchment to set. Gently pull and rotate the lollipop sticks out. Do NOT pull out abruptly without rotating as this could cause the pops to crack. Use a blowtorch to heat the tops and stick on half an oreo cookie. Heat a mini reeses cup and attach it to the oreo. Decorate with sprinkles.

Who’s ready for Christmas crafts? 🎄🎄🎄 Salt painting is always a favorite activity of ours. This is a fun way to make a Christmas tree. 🎄 Kids can trace the design or draw their own with glue. Add your salt 🧂 and then paint with watercolors on top. 🎨 Decorate with some sequins and a star. Watch 👀 for a little stop motion magic 🪄 as the Christmas tree 🎄 gets painted (for those new to salt painting, it won’t actually move like this - you’ll need to tap gently along the salt/glue line yourself quite a few times to paint the tree). You can grab the template on the post, just search “Salt Painted Christmas Tree” on thebestideasforkids.com.

I should have known that ending was coming🎄😂sooo fun though, and really cute to see them choose to completely fill the top part of the tree instead of randomly adding poms everywhere. Also I KNOW I KNOW, I probably could have set up the tree in the time I spent making this BUT we want to do that together as a family and we haven’t had a free weekend yet! SOON! #toddlermom #toddleractivities #twinmom #stayathomemom #christmascraft

💙 DIY CHINOISERIE ORNAMENTS 💙 You guys loved my chinoiserie pumpkins, so I thought I’d put those same decoupage skills to use and make a handful of chinoiserie ornaments, too! These DIY ornaments are seriously so easy to make, even if you aren’t particularly crafty, and they make an amazing addition to blue and white Christmas decor! Here’s everything you need to make them—⁠ ⁠ -Round white ornaments of any size (if yours aren’t white, swirl some white acrylic paint inside— that’s what I did with these clear balls from @Michaels Stores!)⁠ -F⁠abric Mod Podge⁠ -Blue and white paper cocktail napkins (I ordered these from @Amazon)⁠ -Thin sponge brush⁠ ⁠ ✨ HOW TO MAKE THEM ✨⁠ ⁠ (1) Grab some pretty blue and white paper napkins and cut off any borders. Also remove any extra layers of tissue so that the napkins are only 1-ply thick (for reference, these were 3-ply) and then cut them into thin strips. ⁠ ⁠ (2) Pour some fabric Mod Podge onto a disposable plate and secure your ornament so that it can’t roll around (I used an old wine shipper). Dip a narrow sponge brush in the Mod Podge and paint a light stroke onto the ornament. Position the center of the napkin strip in the center of the ornament and then gently apply pressure to glue and smooth it down. Use the sponge brush to flush out any wrinkles. ⁠ ⁠ (3) Overlapping slightly at the top so that there aren’t any gaps, lay down the next napkin strip, making sure to line it up with the previous strip to create a cohesive pattern.⁠ ⁠ (4) Continue until you’ve worked your way around the ornament and then cut off any extra tissue on the top and bottom. Dab a generous layer of Mod Podge on each end and use the brush/ your fingers to smooth down the loose ends (the top will be hidden under the cap, and the bottom won’t be super visible, so neither end needs to be neat). ⁠ ⁠ (5) Pop on the cap, give your chinoiserie ornament an hour or so (or more) to dry, and enjoy!! #chinoiserie #christmas #ornaments #decoupage #diyprojects #diydecor #diychristmas #diy
