Advent Calendar Fillers for Kids

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

 The family Christmas tradition of Advent, often begins on December 1. These Advent Calendar Fillers for Kids will fill your home with the magical delight of the holiday season as they prepare for the coming of Christ and Christmas.

Advent Calendar Fillers for Kids

An Advent Calendar was something that came late to us in Christmas Traditions.  It was something I did growing up by lighting a Christmas candle and because I was unaware of other types of calendars, it wasn’t a tradition we formed in our own home until my girls adopted it on their own.

What is Advent?

Advent means the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event. For Christmas, the season of Advent is the time of four Sundays and weeks before Christmas. In Latin, Advent means coming. For Christmas, this is the coming of Christ or the birth of Jesus. Christians use this season of Advent to prepare and remember the real meaning of Christmas. The birth of Christ.

What is an Advent Calendar?

An Advent Calendar is a popular Christmas Tradition for Families. Typically beginning on December 1st, an Advent calendar is a 24-day calendar used to count the days of Advent in anticipation of Christmas. The start date of a religious Advent calendar can vary year to year based on the church, but in every day American tradition, the calendar begins on the first day of December.

On each additional day of advent, a box (envelope, bag, present) is opened. There is only one opening a day.  The point of the calendar is not to countdown, but rather to count up towards the days before Christmas. The internet is big on the debate of, do you start with the first number (one) or with the highest number on the calendar. While the entire Advent community is torn, as a family we have started with day one. Think about it like this: if you were using candles for your advent calendar, you’d want to end up with 24 lit candles, not one candle lit.

Homemade Advent Calendar DIY

More and more the tradition of Advent Calendars are beginning to stick. While it used to be hard to find an advent calendar, they can commonly be found online (like Amazon) or in stores like Kohl’s and Target.  We prefer turning this into a Christmas craft with a Homemade Advent Calendar. Take a look at he 25+ ideas we have gathered for your own Homemade Advent Calendar.

Advent Calendar for Adults

While there are plenty of fun advent calendar for adults, we primarily will focus on advent calendars for kids. That being said, we wanted to give our bigger a few ideas to keep your creative juices flowing and unique gift ideas filled. One advent calendar idea for her is always from my favorite beauty store, the Sephora Collection Advent Calendar. We think this one is always a winner. Another advent calendar idea for him is is the Advent Calendar of Beer (fill the box how you want – I bet you can share with him too!)

Now to the purpose of our post. What do you put inside advent calendars? Consider these fun Advent Calendar Fillers for Kids. Get creative with candy to chocolate, small toys, Christmas books and more!

It’s important to also teacher the message of Christ and the story of Christmas. Make sure to include these easy-to-read Advent Calendar Bible Verses for Kids.

Winter ONEderland First Birthday Party Ideas

Winter ONEderland First Birthday Party Ideas – A Winter Wonderland party in hues of silver, white, pink and blue is perfect for a child with a winter birthday.

Winter ONEderland First Birthday Party Ideas

What is a Winter ONEderland Party?

A winter ONEderland party is a first birthday party with a winter-scape theme. It can incorporate a lumberjack theme for boys or a Nutcracker theme for girls. Or stray from the the theme and crate your own snow filled home full of magic and delight.

Winter Wonderland Party Food

Stick with a color pallet and work on the food from there. We suggest silver, white and either blue or pink. I lean closer to the girls first birthday parties are pink, blue are blue – but have at it – whatever color you choose.

When picking  the theme, it’s important to have food that matches the colors.  Sugar cookies with food coloring mixed with royal frosting can go with every color pallet.   Every party goer will have their inner child come out with Clear Rock Candy Sticks. Snowballs can be made with white powdered sugar donut holes. Additionally, white powdered sugar donuts with shots of milk are a sweet treat.

To counter the sweet, don’t forget to add the salt. Sea salt can be added to many sweet treats and look like crystals.  Cheese and popcorn can be a good balance. Carrots can be snowmen noses.  Consider telling your invited guests, that this is a dessert party and have them eat lunch or dinner ahead.

Where drinks are concerned, have a place marker labeled “melted snow flakes” for your water table. For another drink option, add a hot cocoa bar. You could also look at our S’mores Recipes for ideas on this winter tablescape. For mix-ins, add bowls of marshmallows, whip cream, cinnamon sticks, and white chocolate spoons.

First Birthday Party Present Ideas

Sensory toys are great for this age group. They are just coming into the age of discovering with their hands and being able to hold and explore and option.

First Birthday Toys Include:

  • Sensory Blocks
  • Sensory Balls
  • Touch and Feel Puzzles
  • Board Books (This one is the best!)
  • Activity Center

Description

With a touch of jalapeno and the love of cheese, the this low carb Keto Hot Dog cheese wrap skewers will be on your regular dinner rotation.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 hot dogs (Be sure to watch the carb count on the ones you choose)
  • 10 slices of cheddar cheese
  • 5 tbsp Monterey Jack shredded cheese
  • 1 large jalapeno pepper finely chopped
  • wooden skewers

Instructions

  1. Boil, grill or saute your hot dogs for several minutes to heat them well and cook them through.
  2. Place each hot dog on a wooden skewer once cooled a bit.
  3. Place a non-stick or well greased skillet over medium heat, and lay two slices of cheddar cheese down in the center of it.
  4. Let the cheddar cheese melt completely until it begins to resemble a piece of lace. If you do not let the cheese melt completely before attempting to wrap it around the hot dog, it will simply slide right off.
  5. Once the cheddar cheese is mostly melted, place a tablespoon of monterey jack cheese and a small sprinkling of jalapeno peppers down the center of it. Allow the cheese to bubble and melt for about 30 seconds longer.
  6. Beginning at one end, place the hot dog on the edge of the cheese, and use a spatula with one hand to help wrap the cheese around the hot dog as you spin it on the skewer with the other hand. Hold for a few seconds to let it cool slightly, and then place it on a rack to finish cooling.
  7. Repeat steps 3-6 with the remaining hot dogs.

Yesterday, we shared some great foods that you can grab to add more veggies into your kids’ meals without them even knowing. Today, we have some more ways for you to make veggies fun for kids! And, of course, don’t forget to check out our hidden vegetable recipes!

You can make chocolate milk chock full of superfood fruits and veggies when you use this Kids Superfood Greens Cocoa Chocolate Superfood Powder by Feel Great 365 instead of chocolate milk powder. This is such a sneaky way to add in the good stuff!


Veggies are so much more fun to eat when they are made into fun shapes! You can use this Vegetable Cutter Shapes Set to turn veggies and fruits into stars, hearts, flowers and more! My kids would love this!


This MyPlate Divided Kids Portion Plate is a great way for kids to know exactly how much of each food group they need to eat at meals – including their vegetables. And, kids get more excited about food when they build their plates!


Get some extra veggies like onion, garlic and red bell pepper in just by seasoning your foods with McCormick Grill Mates Vegetable Seasoning. You can use this on meat, potatoes and more!


I am a HUGE fan of these Happy Tot Organic Fiber & Protein Pouches. We call them applesauce pouches, and the kids just eat them up! They are chock full of fruits and veggies like pears, raspberries, butternut squash and carrots.


Looking for some fun ways to get your kids to learn to love veggies? Get recipes and activities like beet tattoos and cabbage bingo in the book Adventures in Veggieland: Help Your Kids Learn to Love Vegetables. This sounds like so much fun – definitely something I need to get for my kids.
