When I finish work every Friday lunchtime I have great intentions about the craft and play activities I can do with The Boy for the forthcoming four days until I return to work, yet by Wednesday I have failed miserably!
However, tomorrow the festive season starts and I am buggered damned if I am missing out on the opportunity to do great activities with The Boy each day, even more so since I saw this post on Domestic Goddesque the other day. So in pure 'borrowing' style, I have compiled a planner of Advent Activities for us to complete each day which hopefully should see us embrace the seasonal cheer.
What Christmas activities do you have planned?

Oooh lovely, will look forward to the results x
-
Thanks, hope I can stick to it!
-

Wow there is a challenge! You sure you shouldn't allow a couple of free days to catch up on the day that didn't happen 'cos events too over? I will be so in awe if you do them all!
-
I'll do it! This took me hours to work out based on my work days and how tired I'll be, toddler group sessions, dentist appointments, etc. I will do it!
-
A lady on a mission, I like it!
-
-
-
WOW! That's ambitious! I am so looking forward to seeing the results. (I hardly have any time to complete crafty projects, so am in awe if you get even some of these done, let alone all!!!)
-
I will, it's my challenge to *make* me not miss out on craft opportunities with The Boy.
-
-
A crafty calendar I love it! Well done you!
-
Thank you very much, keeping my fingers crossed that I don't deviate from the plan.
-
-
Love it: properly ambitious and some of these ideas sound fabulous. I shall have to get a linky going so that you can link and then I can 'borrow' some of the ideas next year
-
It's all recycling in the end anyway, isn't it? We all do versions of each other's stuff!
-
-
Very ambitious but great idea. I would love to make something the same but our move will prevent me doing much like his now.
Good luck though x-
You can do a fantastic one next year, or even at Easter?
-
-
How exciting, are you going to share the results with us? I need ideas x
-
I'll try and blog some of the ideas, I'll Instagram the rest
-
-
What a lovely idea to get into the festive spirit! x
-
Thanks, hope it doesn't Christmas me out though by the time it actually gets here!
-
-
I love this idea, I have a few craft ideas for us to do but nothing like this!
-
I am hoping that I haven't over-planned!
-
As long as you're relaxed about it and don't beat yourself up if you don't get it done then you'll be fine!
-

-
I love this idea too, but I'm a bit rubbish so would never manage it all. xx
-
I'm going to give this my all, would love it if you could link up some of your activities?
-
-
There are some great crafts here. Some of these sound a bit beyond my skill level! I do hope you will be blogging the things you have made? with pictures!
I may have to copy your Pot Pourri idea (sorry / thanks!) – be good to get some nice Christmassy smells on the go! Someone blogged about drying out orange slices the other day – that'd go great in pot pourri!
xx-
The sliced oranges is what made me think of Christmas pot pourri, got some other ideas going on in my head too! I'll be blogging some or I'll Instagram the rest.
-
-
Love this idea! I had to throw in some 'easier' ones with some I might be able to achieve more than one in a day- but challenge accepted!
-
Good woman! I'm really chuffed you've joined in especially as you're so busy!
-
-
Some lovely ideas there. I used to be very good at doing Christmas crafts with them but this past few years it has been hectic in December, as they are older they are in more and more things. I will be looking forward to seeing your creations.
-
I always seem to miss the opportunity, this year I'm not missing out!
-
-
Sounds exciting x
-
I'm impressed! I've got several things in mind and I did think about doing something like this but I worried that he would miss doing stuff after Christmas if it was too obviously structured – and I thought I may lose the will to live with too much crafting! Am loving all your photos though, even if I still have that tune in my head!
-
Such a brilliant and different idea. I love the idea of activities – makes it all the more memorable
