    Easy Advent Calendar Small Cones

    A very easy to make Advent calendar, to allow toddlers to participate in this DIY activity! A few empty rolls of toilet paper, duct tape and markers are enough (and of course small toys or candies). A DIY to do with four hands, since the first part of the realization of this Advent calendar is reserved for children, and the second, which consists of slipping in small surprises and closing small packages, will be reserved for parents. That way, we share the work and keep the surprise effect!
