I wanted to set aside time each day until Christmas to do a fun activity with Joey. The Activity Mom has an awesome list of activities called 2010 Activity Advent Calendar, but a lot of these activities are above his skill level so I’ll be adapting some, adding a few others, and seeing what works.
I planned activities around our schedule, so I can be prepared for each day and not over scheduled.
Here’s what we’re planning to do as we countdown to Christmas:
November 28 – Beginning of Advent, start the Jesse Tree
