DIY "Sugar Free" Holiday Advent Calendar 🎄

Hello December! As a kid we used to always grow up waking up on December 1st with an advent calendar from my Grandma. I was so excited to continue the tradition with the girls this year now that they are a little older....I wanted to the tradition to be a mix of fun and a little bit of "giving back" for the season so they grow up understanding that it's not all about gifts and candy. I came up with this "sugar free" version that is 100% customizable every year!

MATERIALS NEEDED:

- Scarf hanger from Ikea (similar)

- Gift tags (mine are from Target)

- Sharpie (or permanent marker)

- Small ornaments

INSTRUCTIONS:

Start with the gift tags and number them 1 - 25.  Then on the back create your custom message or activity for the day. Mine were a mix of holiday traditions and some new "giving back" themes. 

Then simply tie the tag onto the scarf hanger with your ornaments. Each day we turn over 1 tag and one ornament. Pretty easy right? The best part is you can use this year after year OR change it up with different messages and ornaments. 

Here is to a happy and healthy December!!
