Aren’t these advent cards sweet? We made them during our library’s weekly preschool craft time – one of my favorite weekly activities! The kids needed help cutting out the flames (at least in order to get them looking sufficiently flame-like for their critical minds), but Emma and Johnny cut out the candle stems themselves – and then got frustrated gluing on the thin crepe paper. Construction paper would be more child-friendly, but I have to admit the thinner paper looks nice – and all three kids were immensely pleased with the final effect!

I love these cards we still need to do ours yet. I would love it if you would like to add your crafts to our weekly craft blog hop. http://monkeyingaround1.blogspot.com/2010/12/homemade-christmas-decorations.html
we also run a craft blog hop competition on the 1st of each month
Oh these are very sweet and lovely to see other celebrating the four Advent Sundays too!
Thank you so much for linking up to Kids Get Crafty!

These are super! I miss our library craft times. We used to go (Joe and I) very often, but this last year we’ve only been twice–shame on me:-)! These turned out great.
