We started Advent today by setting up our empty wooden crib. At the bottom we placed a piece of gold card which represented our promise to try hard to be good for Advent. The girls each decided what they were going to try particularly hard on (sharing more, no jealousy, more patience etc), then each time they do a good deed they get to put a cotton wool ball in the crib. Hopefully by Christmas it will be FULL of cotton wool and soft and comfortable ready for the Baby Jesus :)
Then we set about crafting. We made scratch card decorations...
