Happy bellies include happy people. Have a spread of sweets, savories, and foot that fits different diets and lifestyles. Comfort can include the seating and temperature. Are you having an outdoor party that needs a warm fire or some blankets on a cool fall evening? Find music and entertainment that fits your crowd. Do they enjoy laughter, like to have fun.

Great food, music, and drinks are the hallmarks of a good adult party. When it comes to planning on a budget, what about party games? Party games aren’t just for kids’ parties.

Non Board. Not bored!

Press Conference

How to Play: Press conference is a unique party game for adults that can be played with any size group, with hilarious results. One guest holds a press conference, and the other guests get to ask them questions. Have that person leave the room. Everyone else decides on a character that this person will be in the “Press Conference.” (You could have a bowl of characters or decide together). The person holding the press conference answers the question, but the twist here is that they have no idea who they are supposed to be but the other guests do. The person has to try and figure out who they are from the questions that are asked by the group (while answering those questions!) For example, if Jim went out of the room and we chose for him to be Bugs Bunny, we could ask “How many carrots do you eat a day?” “What fuel do you use for your sleigh?” “How do you hide from Elmer Fudd?” “Do you feel very old?” “Who is your favorite Looney Tune?”

Supplies: None

Chocolate Game

Supplies: Wrapped chocolate bar, oven mitts, hat, scarf, a knife, fork, dice

How to Play: This game is hilarious for an adult party, and you only need a few items to play. You need a wrapped chocolate bar, some oven mitts, a hat, a scarf, a knife, a fork, and a single dice. Going around a circle, each person gets a chance to roll the dice trying to get a six. When a player rolls a six they will put on the hat, scarf, and mitts and attempt to cut the chocolate with the knife and fork. Their turn ends when another player rolls a six when it will be their turn to take over. The game is over when all of the chocolate is gone!

Story Starters

How to Play: This party game for adults works best in groups of 4 to 6 people so if you have a large gathering, break your number of players up into groups. The idea is to give each group a piece of paper with a story starting sentence, and then have each person add one sentence to the story. You never know what kind of hilarious story you will end up with at the end.

Some story starting sentences you might use include:

“Once upon a time, I…”
“The dumbest thing I ever did was…”
“My perfect vacation would be…”
“My favorite place to visit was…”
“The dumbest thing I ever did was…”
“If I could be anything it would be…”
“The craziest thing I have ever done is…”
“If my life were a book, I would title it…”

Supplies: Paper, pen, pencil

Don’t Say Yes

How to Play: This is one of the best games for an adult party, you have probably heard of the game Taboo, and this is similar. Your guests aren’t allowed to say “yes” or any variation of it (yeah, fine, sure, etc.) when answering questions or in conversation. Anytime the word “yes” is used the guest gets a sticker. Whoever has the most stickers at the end of the night is the loser. Win or lose it’s hilarious to see people try to have conversations without the words “yes.”

Supplies: Stickers

Bag of Bad News

How to Play: In this funny drinking game for adults, you will get a bunch of miniature bottles of alcohol. The size you find on airplanes. Number the bottles in a multiple number of party guests. For example, you can have bottles numbered 1 to 30 for 10 guests. In this example, each player would pick 3 numbers for a deck of handwritten cards numbered 1 to 30. Then they are assigned the bottles that correspond with the numbers. The goal is for them to drink that bottle during the party. No real winner but this activity has as a drinking icebreaker game. Drink responsibly.

Supplies: Numbered miniature airplane bottles of liquor, numbered cards, bag

Spoons

How to Play: In this card game, have one less spoon then players in the center of a circle. The goal is for each player to get four cards of a kind. All contestants have four cards to start. The dealer takes a card off the top of the deck to have five cards in their hand, removes one and passes it face down to the left. Each player discards to the person on their left. Cards are picked up and placed down quickly. When one player gets four of a kind, they grab a spoon then all other players must grab a spoon too. The player left without a spoon gets a letter. First person to spell S-P-O-O-N is out and has to eat a yucky thing on the spoon.

Supplies: Spoons, deck of cards

Pictionary

How to Play: Pictionary is a fun drawing game for a small party of mixed ages. Best of all, drawing abilities don’t have to count for this game and in fact, the worse someone draws, the more hilarious the game becomes. Split players into teams. Team members must guess what their teammate is drawing on the large paper. If they guess the correct answer in the assigned time, they get a point. The winning team has the most points at the end of the game.

Supplies: Large paper, dry erase board, poster, dry erase markers, paper, pen, timer

Never Have I Ever

How to Play: This icebreaker game is a great way to get to know each other—really fast. All players sit in a circle and hold up 10 fingers. One at a time, players go around and say the phrase “Never have I ever…” completing the sentence with something they have not done. Anyone who has done the activity mentioned in the “Never have I ever . . .” statement, puts one finger down. As players put down all their fingers, they are eliminated from the game. Last person standing wins. The winner of the game is the last remaining player with a finger raised.

Supplies: None

Prosecco Pong

How to Play: This drinking game is played like beer pong, only classier, with Prosecco. Poor a bit of Prosecco in 12 plastic wine glasses. Six glasses in a triangle shape on opposite sides of a table. Each team takes turn throwing a ping-pong ball into the other team’s cups. Once a ball lands in a cup, the cup is taken away and the opponent then drinks the contents of the cup. If both teammates hit cups, the balls are rolled back and they get to shoot again. There is no looser.

Supplies: Plastic wine glasses, ping-pong balls, table

Truth or Dare

How to Play: Play the traditional game of truth or dare or add this fun twist to make a classics kids game into an adult truth or dare game challenge. In this unique game, separate your players into teams or groups. How brave are your players? Have each player blindly pick dare (or truth). If that player completes the dare , the team gets three points. If one of their teammates completed the dare, they get one point. The group that completes the most dares by the end of the reception is the winner.

Supplies: Paper, pens, pencils

Name that Tune

How to Play: Before the party, make a playlist of songs. These can be themed songs (for example, if it is Christmas have Christmas songs.) Give each guest a piece of paper and a pencil. Play one song at a time for 30 seconds. Have everyone write down the name of the song (or the next line of the song). The person with the most correct wins.

Supplies: Paper, pencil, pen

Cereal Box Game

How to Play: Also known as Bite the Bag game. This is a hilariously funny game gets worse as the night goes on. Place an empty cereal box on the floor. A player must reach down and pick it up with their mouth. The only thing that is allowed to touch the floor is your feet (no hands, no knees) and the only thing that is allowed to touch the box is your mouth. After every round, cut off an inch from the top of the box and play again. This game is like limbo in reverse. How low can you go?

Supplies: Cereal box, scissors

Two Truths and a Lie

How to Play: This ice breaker game is a great getting to know you game for early in the night. Pick 3 statements to tell about yourself. Example: “I have two siblings, I’ve been to three continents, and I love cats.” Two should be true; one should be a lie. Everyone else must guess which is the lie. If you’re playing with family or friends, pick obscure details to try to trick each other to make it even more fun.

Supplies: None

Charades

How to Play: On cards (or paper or sticky notes), write down nouns (person, place or thing). Keep the noun Charades ideas in the topic of the age group or the theme of the season. In this classic game, split teams in two. Stack the cards or place them all in a bowl. One person acts out what’s on the card. Each team guesses what the player on their is acting out. Team that guesses the most correctly, wins.

Supplies: Paper, pencil, pen

Straight Face

How to Play: We hope you have a sense of humor but can keep a straight face. The funny game begins with each player writing down one sentence on a piece of paper, crumpling, and piling it at the center of the group. What kind of sentences? Ones that are ridiculous, awkward, hilarious or inappropriate; ones that anyone would struggle to read (or hear) while keeping a straight face. One at a time, each player will choose a slip of paper and attempt to read whatever is written on it without giggling or cracking a smile. If they fail, they are out (or take a shot or eat a yucky concoction.) Careful, laughter included.

Supplies: Paper, pen or pencils

React and Act

How to Play: Pass out sheets of paper and pens to the players. Have each person write an event. Tell them to be creative! Examples of events can include: Being surprised by a large, aggressive bear in the woods. You just won the lottery. You have just been proposed for marriage with a ring. You just got fired. You made a touch down at the Superbowl. You just fell in love. Once everyone writes an event, fold the paper once and place it into the bag. Divide the group into teams no larger than 5 people. During their turn, a team each gets a different action drawn from the bag. For thirty seconds they must act out their action. After time expires, the other members of the team try to guess what each persons action was. A point is awarded for each correct guess.

Supplies: Paper, pens, pencils

Fishbowl Game

How to Play: This game has many names. Also known as Celebrity, The Name Game, or Salad Bowl. Similar to Charades and Taboo. The rules change each round. First, have a list of nouns and/or phrases written on cards. These will be used for the rounds. Split teams in two. Round 1: Taboo. Use words to describe the word or phrase on the card, without any acting or gestures. You cannot use any part of the word or phrase! Round 2: Charades. Without words or sounds, act and use gestures to communicate the word or phrase on the card. Round 3: Password. You can say exactly one word to describe the word or phrase on the card, no more! You’ll rely on your team’s ability to use association. The team that guesses the most cards across all rounds wins!

Supplies: Paper, pencil, pen

Twenty Questions

How to Play: One player, the answerer, picks an object. This can be something in the room or something obscure. All other players ask the answerer “Yes” or “No” questions to guess what the object is. If no one guesses correctly after 20 questions, the answerer has won and picks a new object for the next round. If someone guesses correctly they get to pick the object for the next round.

Supplies: None

The (No-So) Newlywed Game

How to Play: In this fun couple game, the challenge is to see what couple knows the other person best. It’s played just like the Newlywed Game but this way couples who have been together for any length of time can take part in the fun. Prepare with a list of questions that take you through dating, engagement and the wedding, firsts, friends, and family, favorites, best and worst, finances, preferences, making love, fun facts, love and marriage, and the future. There’s even a category just for the funniest questions.

Supplies: Paper, pencils, pens

I’m Going to a Bar

How to Play: Just like the kid game “I’m Going on a Picnic.” The first person begins by saying, “I’m going to the bar and I need to get a mojito” (or any other alcoholic beverage). After that, the next player repeats the drink that the previous player(s) said… but adds another drink to the list, as well. Game continues with each person adding a drink to the list. You are out if you mess up the order of drinks. Last person standing is the winner.

Supplies: None

Donuts & Cocktail Sticks

How to Play: This perfect game is a bit silly, a bit close. It is similar to pass the orange. Split teams in two. Create a line. Hand your players a cocktail stick, which they’re to put in their mouth. The first player now puts a donut on their cocktail stick and has to pass it onto the next teammate without it falling. No hands. Keep passing along the line. The last player who gets the donut, drops it in a bucket. Any donuts dropped during the passing, go back to the beginning of the line. Team who passes the most donuts at the end of time, wins.

Supplies: Donuts, cocktail sticks

These games are so much fun! Not only are they easy to implement, they are low-cost allowing you to focus your budget on other party details and party ideas.

Daniel Tiger Birthday Ideas

Daniel Tiger Birthday Cakes

This two-layer birthday cake with Daniel Tiger on the top layer and the neighborhood on the bottom is super cute, but the blue Tigey smash cake is so precious! Tigey is Daniel Tiger’s plush toy, and he’s the perfect subject for a smash cake for 1-year-olds. | Brite & Bubbly

The trolley topper on this two-layer neighborhood cake is a cute little keepsake for parents to add to the scrapbook or memory box. If this is a first birthday, make your little tiger his own smash cake. | Making Memories with My Minis

You don’t have to be a pro cake decorator to work with fondant. Follow the instructions in this YouTube video to make the adorable cake you see here. It’s easier than you think! You can even make these adorable tigers into cupcakes. | Mama Needs a Manual

We love the simplicity of the design on this blue two-layer Daniel Tiger cake with a trolley and figurine on top. | Catch My Party

Daniel Tiger’s bungalow makes a great cake, too! This two-tiered cake has the bungalow on top and the neighborhood (with the trolley) on the bottom. Isn’t that adorable? | Patty Cakes Bakery

Daniel Tiger Birthday Party Foods

Prep a bunch of these castle sandwiches before the party. They look like Prince Wednesday’s castle! | Creative Kid Snacks

Tiger Tails are a popular snack for tiger-themed parties, and they’re super simple to make. Just dip pretzel rods in orange candy melts, and when that is set, drizzle with black candy melts to create the tiger effect. | Chelsey’s Messy Apron

Marshmallow tiger tails are another option. Skewer marshmallows, and follow the same steps to coat them into orange candle melts and drizzle with black. These are just like the Tigger tails snacks at Disneyland! | Jamonkey

The Daniel Tiger stand-up cookies spelling the child’s name is so cute. It really makes the dessert table pop, although everything looks beautiful and delicious. Even if you’re not much of a baker or cookie decorator yourself, you could recreate these with simple letter cookies and sugar cookie icing, with a cardstock version of the characters “attached” to the cookie with a little frosting. | Brite & Bubbly

Cheetos Paws make the perfect tiger party snack! Other orange or striped foods like Zebra cakes, cheddar popcorn, etc. are also great choices for party foods. | Fab Everyday

Tiger cake pops are an easy treat to make. Just use your favorite cake ball recipe, and instead of dipping them in the usual chocolate, dip them in orange candy melts instead and then drizzle with black candy melts. | Lark and Lola

Make Tiger-tastic Jello cups for the kids. These are so cute! All you need are orange Jello cups, some googly eyes, and a maker to draw the faces. | Pichea Place

Mandarin orange tiger cups are another easy and fun option. | Patty Cakes Bakery

Want another sweet treat to add to your dessert table? Make these O the Owl Rice Krispie Treat Pops! They’d also make great party favors… just pop a cellophane bag over each one, tie with a ribbon, and you’re all set. | Spot of Tea Designs

Tiger cookies—Oreo cookies dipped in orange or black candy melts—are super simple. | Lark and Lola

Use patterned duct tape as water bottle labels instead of paper ones. The tape stays put, even in ice. And although the tape is technically zebra patterned, it could also be white tiger patterned! Anything with stripes will work for a tiger party. | Fab Everyday

Daniel Tiger Birthday Party Decor

Put up a welcome sign on your door using this free printable. The colorful garland draping the photo frame adds to the look. | Child at Heart

Make your own DIY tassel garlands to add pops of color throughout your home or venue for the party. You can always save them and reuse them for future parties! | Mama Needs a Manual

All of the decor at this party looks completely amazing, but one thing that stood out to us was the balloon table centerpiece. What a clever idea. In fact, all of the balloon installations at the party are grrr-ific, with foil Daniel Tigers and gold #1 balloons popping out everywhere. | Brite & Bubbly

Set up a gorgeous backdrop for your tables or for taking photos using black and orange streamers, pom pom, and balloons. You don’t even have to buy tiger print balloons; inexpensive orange ones will work just fine. Simply use a flat-tipped Sharpie to draw stripes on them. | Fab Everyday

The free Daniel Tiger printables at PBS Kids are super helpful for making Daniel Tiger party decorations, like this cute character banner. | Child at Heart

Use chalkboards to add decor to your party, just add Daniel Tiger quotes. This a great idea because you can always use the chalkboards again, whereas signs and banners typically get thrown out. Here, you’ll find a few different chalkboard themes for a Daniel Tiger birthday. | Mama Needs a Manual

These large Daniel Tiger character cutouts not only provide decoration for the party, but it’s a fun photo op for the kids to take their picture beside all the characters. It’s especially cute for toddlers who are about the same size as the characters! | Oh Happy Play

We love this cute Bungalow cookie jar idea. It looks like it’s made of brown pipe cleaners glued onto a bowl, so you can do this yourself with any container you have. | Kickin’ It With Kim

Daniel Tiger Birthday Party Favors

Small favor bags with the characters on the front are super cute! You can recreate these on the cheap, though, using bags from the Dollar Tree and printouts of the characters that you make at home. | Making Memories with My Minis

Instead of party hats, provide Prince Wednesday’s crowns for the kid guests to wear at the party or take home as a souvenir. You can make these yourself, so it’s a great inexpensive party favor. | Catch My Party

Create inexpensive tiger-themed favor bags with things like mini basketballs, orange slinkies, toy tigers, orange friendship bracelets, orange and black lollipops, etc. Anything orange and black will work for the bags! | No Biggie

Every kid party needs some Daniel Tiger noisemakers to blow after the birthday song! Add a Daniel Tiger Quote sign that reads “Music Man Stan’s Horn Shop” to continue the Daniel Tiger theme. | Catch My Party

Daniel Tiger Birthday Party Crafts & Activities for Kids

Face painting would be a huge hit at a Daniel Tiger birthday party. If you can’t hire someone to do this for you, you could do a relatively simple version of some whiskers and a nose. | Fab Everyday

So much to do, So much to see

Ride the little ones around in style at the birthday party in your own DIY Daniel Tiger Trolley. It would be such a cute photo op for the birthday boy or girl and their guests. | Wholesale Halloween Costumes

Won’t you ride along with me?

This tiger paper plate craft would make a fun activity for the kids to do at the party. You can cut down on the crafting time a bit (as well as the mess) by providing orange paper plates instead of painting white ones. Pre-cutting stripes, as well as the nose and mouth, will also save time. | No Time for Flash Cards

For another simple craft idea, try this tiger paper bag puppet. You can have orange bags ready and pre-cut all the pieces before the party. Put the pre-cut pieces for each tiger puppet in an individual baggy along with a glue stick so you can distribute them easily to each child at the party. Kids could also take these home to assemble them if you don’t have enough time at the party to complete a craft. | Arty Crafty Kids

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor
In Daniel Tiger’s neighborhood!

We hope you have a tiger-rific party!

1 – 12 Monthly Baby Photo Ideas – Track Your Baby’s Age in Photos

September 20, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Baby, Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Photo, Pinterest, Social Media

Are you a new mom (or seasoned mom) in need of monthly baby photo ideas? Track your baby’s age in 1 – 12 month baby photo ideas. In addition to some amazing month to month baby photoshoot ideas, download our free monthly printable milestone stickers and signs for your baby’s first year.

We are expecting and with the upcoming birth of a newborn, I am in nesting mode. Nesting mode for me includes planning how I am going to take those adorable 0 to 12 month photos (and as I plan and look at ideas, wondering if I will give up after 3 months!) Take a look at the creative Monthly Baby Photo Ideas below.

We think you might get inspired like us!

This post as been updated! You can view the blog post about the birth story of my twin boys.

How do I take the best milestones photos in baby’s first year?

One thing monthly baby picture ideas have in common is they are taken in exactly the same location with very similar props. Staging monthly pictures the same way for the first 12 months of life allows the viewer (aka parents, grandparents and all those who will coo) to see how much baby has grown. Take this photo month by month. You can use the same date of the month, usually around their date of birth.

Fun ideas for milestone baby photos include a Moses basket, a bedroom chair, a milestone blanket and/or monthly signs. Another adorable idea is to have your child in the same outfit as a newborn all the way to a one year old. This really shows how big baby has gotten as they begin to fill in their onesie or t-shirt.

How can you use monthly baby photo ideas?

When taking photos every month during your child’s first year of life, ask yourself how do you want to use these photos. Most people use this cuteness to share to social media or even print for a baby book. However, you can also turn these photos in to artwork or birthday party décor for a baby’s first birthday. When you are done with all your staged photos, combine them into one file in 4×3 or 3×4 setting. This gives you 12 images to see how baby has grown. You can use this combined file to print on a canvas and hang your child’s room or in the hallway. Canva is a great free resource for combining all twelve images into one image.

How can I calm my baby down for a photoshoot?

Guess what. In the first year (and maybe the next 18 years) babies are in charge of the photoshoot. In order to get the best photos, consider your child’s schedule. Make sure they are fed, changed and well rested. The best photo shoots occur shortly after a feed when baby has had time to digest and play. Be careful not to get too close too naptime.

Once baby has gotten upset during a photo shoot, trying to continue shooting might not be a great strategy. Consider calming baby with milk or an outdoor walk. If baby cannot calm, put your photoshoot props aside. Give yourself grace. A five month old photo doesn’t have to be taken on exactly five months old. Five months and one day or five months and two days is still just as precious.

Fun Ideas for 1 – 12 Month Old Baby Photos

Watching baby grow can be lots of fun (and oh so sad too!) No matter the emotions it brings, every mama watch to capture that growth spurt in time. Capture those special moments with baby photographs every month. There’s no need for a professional photographer. These adorable DIY ideas for monthly baby photos will give you amazing photo inspiration during baby’s first year of life.

First let’s start with a free digital download. Use this free printable as inspiration as you look at all of these cute monthly baby ideas. They are the perfect prop for your lasting memory.

Amazon has a Lightbox which will help with these Monthly-Lightbox-Photos from Mrs. Kosakowski (link unavailable.) This sticks to a black and white baby’s photo shoot. Pair with other black and white modern baby props for baby’s pictures.

Belly to Baby Photos

Enhance mama’s belly with a growing baby. This is so cute all the way from pregnancy (before mom’s due date) to one year. We are in love with this Belly to Baby Monthly Series from Simply Rosie. I actually had a great friend do this idea and eventually she was holding a ten year old boy. It was photo with a lot of humor as the child could barely be held in her arms. (I mean we all have our own quirks for creating memorable photos!)

Monthly Photos for Dad

Even dad can get in on the fun. Lift Baby Up in Dad’s Arms with this Monthly Milestone Idea from Little Meg. This allows mama to be the professional photo since we know dad might capture the moment of projectile milk vomit and declare “got it!”

Developmental Milestones

Canva would be a fun place to replicate these Monthly Milestone Photos with your baby from Tonya Teran. Treasure those incredible milestone with this baby photo idea. Write your child’s height, weight, size, and any milestones they are going through.

Baby Chalkboard Photoshoot

The Photographer’s Wife did a great job using a simplistic chair with a black background and chalkboard Font. Baby’s pictures can be taken in front of a painted chalk board wall and you can have fun with the 1-12 roman numerals. Don’t want to paint your walls? Use chalkboard contact paper or paint a board. Or take this picture with a green wall or even black while and play with ah chalk font in the Canva platform.

Moses Basket Bassinet

Use a Basket to Show Baby’s Growth like Little Lucy Lu baby’s pictures. This is adorable with a baby blanket or pillow.

Black & White Baby’s Pictures

Hide your skill and turn your photos into greyscale or black and white baby photos. Take a basket but turn it into a Black & White Monthly Photo Memory like this idea on Tekoa Rose.

Chair Photos

Keep everything the same except the onesie! Add a number to the onesie sharing each monthly milestone like A Girl Named PJ.

Sticker Numbers on White Onesie

Focus on the background and have fun brightly colored fabric still using a number on the onesie like this idea from Laura Wifler. It’s easy to find white onesies for baby and 1-12 monthly stickers for baby.

Same Onesie Outift

Watch your newborn baby grow in something very obvious. Wear the same onesie outfit like this progression series from Erica’s Bloggity Blog.

Colorful Baby Photo

Mix patterns and textiles with baby. If you are artsy, enjoy adding different background and textures to your baby photos. Go gold using bright colors and a fun standout number in this Monthly Baby Milestone Idea from Oh Joy!

Newborn Announcement

Your first monthly photo can also be used as your newborn announcement idea. Tiffany Burke has done an amazing job capturing newborns, but how about this Newborn Announcement would be great incorporated into monthly birth dates.

Precious Moments Facts

Include mom holding the little one and update the photo with some Descriptive Baby Milestones like this idea from Larissa Another Day. This can easily be done with a baby app on your phone or with a free photo editing tool like Canva.

Stuffed Animal

Toys and lovies can be great props for baby milestone photos. Grab a favorite stuffed animal and keep the background the same like this Monthly Baby Photograph Idea from Kristen Honeycutt. We did this with our twins. One child had a raccoon and the other had a fox. This helped us identify who was who in our identical twin photos.

Colorful Milestone Photo

Add color! I love these Milestones and Colors brought together from Darling Doodles Design. Additionally, check out Canva to help with your creation.

Calendar Photo

For this monthly milestone progression, lay baby on a calendar each month like Ashley Ann Photography. From due date to birth date to first birthday, capture baby as the days on the calendar roll along.

Rainbow Baby

Spell it above with felt letters like this Monthly Photo Idea from Famille Summerbelle. This is also perfect for a rainbow baby as it takes the shape of an arch and uses a lot of colors.

Baby Milestone Blocks

Let a 1-12 baby number cube say it all like this Monthly Birthday Photo Series from Hello My Love. You can make your own DIY baby milestone blocks or buy baby monthly milestone blocks online.

Balloon Photos

Add Balloons like this 0 to 12 Month Balloon Series Idea from A Crafted Passion. Add a balloon to the photo for each year of life. Notice mama kept baby in the same outfit in each photo.

We had so much fun with the 25 Homemade Advent Calendars we wanted to create a freebie of our own. Pick up these free Advent Calendar Stickers and have fun creating our homemade calendar. These stickers have a wood, gold, cream color palette. First, lets talk about what is an advent calendar and how to make your own.

Do Advent Calendars go to 24 or 25?

Well first let’s address this common question. How many numbers does an Advent Calendar have? There answer is 24 as you will begin a calendar on December 1st and end on Christmas Eve. The goal of an Advent Calendar tradition is to count down the days UNTIL Christmas. However, it’s not uncommon for you to have the number 25 as some want to also celebrate the advent calendar season on Christmas day too. You do, you. 24 or 25, both Advent calendar recognition the anticipation of Christmas, aka the birth of Christ.

What you need to make a DIY Advent Calendar

You don’t have to be an expert woodsmith to make an advent calendar. You can quickly put together this Christmas countdown by grabbing a few supplies around your home and downloading our free stickers. This is a fun Christmas craft to do with the kids. In addition to the nativity, it quickly tells the story of Christmas as you anticipate the birth of Jesus.

Supplies

If you are a crafter, it’s easy to pull together this homemade advent calendar. Grab many items from your craft supply closet.

The items including in this DIY Sticker advent calendar include…

brown paper bags
card stock/paper or sticker sheets paper
1.5 hole punch
scissors
twine or string
Christmas washi tape
glue stick or glue
mini clothes pins
mini ornaments
free Christmas advent calendar printable (see below

The best paper bags are mini kraft paper bags though you can use brown lunch bags too.

Directions

String the twine of choice across in a length to fit 24 bags. I used a wooden picture frame and measured one string across my frame to see how many bags would fit on each row – in my case, I could get 6 bags on a row for a total of 4 rows.

Place your treat/gift in your bags and fold. Place Washi tape down the center for decoration.

Stick (sticker paper) or glue (card stock paper) number on bag. We prefer the bags in numerical order, but you make a random collage of numbers out of order.

Clip each bag to your twine/string with clothes pins. Start another row.

Decorate with mini ornaments or perhaps fun Christmas lights.

Tips: Depending on what you are placing inside the bags (weight) you may need to use push pins or something more secure to hold the string on your surface. A nice suggestion would to use a framed cork board behind your frame.

Ideas for Advent Bags

Each advent bag will have a small treat or prize in side. Consider candy or a special note for your child to allow screen time or dinner alone with mommy, a trip to the dollar store etc. In the spirit of the holiday you could write scripture for your child to look up and reflect on with a treat.

Dollar Tree Toys
Ornaments
Christmas Bible Verses that tell the Nativity story
Candy
Cookies
Small Toys
Christmas Party Favors
