These are for a magnet Advent Calendar. Printable magnet sheets (3 p/pkg) are available at hobby stores. You will need one package ... each page will have 9 magnets. The link to a printable PDF is below ... once printed, let the ink dry for 10-15 minutes (sheets have a glossy face), then easily cut along the lines with scissors. They are also easy to arrange on your refrigerator according to the current December calendar - making sure to coordinate with "Sunday" magnets in the proper location. These are to be used with the Advent Calendar Activity & Wreath page. Each day have your child participate in the activity and re-apply the magnet to a different location on the refrigerator. There are 27 magnets and of course, only 25 days until Christmas, beginning with Dec. 1. Depending on a current calendar, you may or may not need all the magnets. You can pick which ones to use if you have extras! The "Counting down to Christmas" magnet may be used as a heading for the Advent Calendar or as a filler, if needed. (It is always a good idea to print one page on regular computer paper to make sure pictures are not cut off by the margin.)
The money from the activity on each magnet can be put in a container and used as an offering at Christmas time. Your children and grandchildren can watch the calendar as it prints off, help cut the segments apart & place it on your refrigerator.

BACK TO THE BEGINNING
Here is the Magnet Advent Calendar on my refrigerator. The French doors were not wide enough to accommodate the calendar in the traditional way, so I placed the days of the week in a column and the Advent Sundays in a row at the top. I rather like it this way!
