12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar

In December we made 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar. 

I picked up cupcake tins from The Dollar Store, which was a little pricey since each teen got 2, six-cup tins. Other supplies included: thick colored card stock, craft paper, preprinted numbers, sticky magnet roll that was cut into square pieces, scissors, thick ribbon, and glue sticks. I made circle patterns of two sizes, one for the card stock, one slightly smaller for the craft paper, that the teens traced onto the craft paper. 

Magnets were glued on the back that then attached to the tin to hide prizes inside. I supplied candy and small prizes to fill in their advent calendar. The teens had a lot of fun! I scheduled an hour for this activity, but it took many of them longer to cut out all the circles.
