25 Homemade Advent Calendars

Pin to Pinterest

So Elf on the Shelf in our home has become exposed. It was a Christmas tradition when the kids were younger and I am sorta grateful for the truth of Santa (and Elf) being revealed. This Christmas I am choosing to continue focusing on the real meaning, the birth of Christ, and now including an Advent Calendar in our home for tradition. I love these Advent Calendar ideas. Some have little treats, other include having 25 days of random acts of kindness while others include a bucket list of ideas for your December and Christmas Season. Whatever your home tastes and desires, these Homemade Advent Calendars offer some great traditions and ideas.

See our Non-Candy Advent Calendar Filler Ideas. Also enjoy these printable Advent Calendar Bible Verses. This includes 24 easy to read Bible verses for kids that tell the story of Christmas. By Christmas, your child will understand the birth of Jesus. Use with or without an Elf on the Shelf Doll. Pair with your Family Advent Calendar.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Eyeball Halloween Popsicles

Pin to Pinterest

We love our 31 Days of Kid’s Halloween Food Crafts and had to share one more. How spooky are these Eyeball Halloween Popsicles? So easy and yummy made with the sweet flavors of coconut water and Sprite. Use with some of your favorite Halloween candies, freeze in molds, and enjoy these creepy treat!

Eyeball Halloween Popsicles
Yields: 8

Ingredients:

Directions:

In a pitcher, add the coconut water and Sprite. Stir to mix well.
Drop 2 to 3 gummy eyeballs into each Popsicle mold.
Pour the coconut water/sprite mixture into each mold up to the fill line.
Insert lids/Popsicle sticks into each mold and freeze overnight.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Make sure that the baking sheet can fit in your freezer.
Run warm water over the molds to loosen each Popsicle .
Release a pop from its mold and pipe the red gel at the bottom of the pop and place on the baking sheet. You don’t want the other pops to start melting while you complete this step so you will have to pipe the icing on fairly quickly.
Return the baking sheet to the freezer until ready to serve.

Enjoy!

Note: I purchased the gummy eyeballs at Walmart in the fall baking aisle. You can find a variety at most craft stores. The Popsicle mold pictured in the recipe was purchased at TJ Maxx.

We always have fun with Kids Food Crafts around the holidays – I mean who doesn’t love a reason for baking this time of year? Luckily this food craft doesn’t even require you to touch the oven or stove top and is so easy and fun. You can make dozens in a short amount of time. Also take a look at our Halloween Witch Hat Cupcakes using ice cream cones too!

Ingredients:

Directions:

Line your working surface with a piece of parchment paper.
In a small microwave safe dish, heat your chocolate chips on 50 percent power for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
Carefully break the tips off of your sugar cones, just big enough so that you can fit one or two pretzels inside.
Now hold the tip off your cone and dip the bottom into your melted chocolate, just enough that it will cover the edges.
Then set on your parchment paper and sprinkle your leaf sprinkles onto the melted chocolate.
Carefully hold the center of your cone and dip the opposite side into the chocolate.
Break three pretzel sticks into three different sizes, dip the ends into your chocolate, and stick them onto the top of your cone teepee.
Sprinkle a few more leaves onto the top.
Carefully transfer to the freezer for about 15 minutes to harden to chocolate.
