This series will take a little pre-planning...
Firstly, you will have to create your own big, home-made Ignite advent calendar. We made one with just four windows to open. Each of the first windows to be opened revealed that particular week’s theme. The fourth window was opened at our Christmas party and showed the nativity scene.
Secondly, you will need to find a simple craft activity for each week’s theme from the internet.
Have fun!
