Advent

My inspiration to make this advent calendar of our four kingdoms came from an internet toy shop online where I saw something very similar and was inspired to make one for our family. I have been trying to finish in time for today so that we can take out our first treasure from its pocket, the crystal representing the mineral kingdom. I will hang our calendar on the wall and each little treasure from each pocket will have a turn to sit on the branch at the bottom of the felted calendar. The second kingdom, is the plant kingdom and here a flower will represent the plants and a bird for the animal kingdom etc..

Jenna felted the little robin for the animal kingdom, Erin felted a flower for the plant kingdom and Caiden chose the crystal wer are to use from the mountain pocket. It was a lovely project….

We are all so very excited to walk our Advent spiral tonight, the rain clouds are gathering, I just hope it holds off long enough for us to have our special walk…..

I have made an Advent wreath from ivy and pine branches intertwined around one another and we will be lighting our first candle tonight after we have walked our Advent spiral….

This is our Advent calendar that we bought from Stockmar, we are very excited to start opening the little windows….

I wish everyone a wonderful Advent spiral walk……
