DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Advent Calendar

Instructions:

• Cut 13 toilet paper rolls in half.
   
• Paint the toilet paper rolls or cover them with construction paper.
   
• Cut circles out of construction paper (just trace around one of the largest toilet paper roll ends to get the size of the circle). 
  • You can fold the paper in half a few times so you get more than one circle at a time.
     
• Glue a circle onto one end of each tp roll half.
   
• Let dry.
   
• Drop a small candy into each little tp roll cup that you've created.
   
• Glue a circle onto the top of each tp roll half.
   
• Let dry.
   
• Use a black marker to write the numbers 1 thru 25 onto the closed tp roll cups.
   
• Tape two pieces of construction paper together to make one large sheet (or use a piece of poster board).
   
• Arrange the cups in whatever way you wish and glue them onto the poster board (we just made a rectangle, but you could arrange them into a Christmas tree shape, a candy cane shape or a wreath shape).
   
• Add a bow if desired.
