Here are some things we did to welcome Advent.
1. We changed the liturgical banner from green to purple. We changed the liturgical season wheel (foreground) from green to purple. Check out the Lit. season wheel and link on an earlier post.
2. I cut out the letters for Advent (die-cut machine would be handy here) and each morning they are in the wrong order. I also wrote it in glitter glue to have tactile letters she can trace with her finger and guide in spelling Advent correctly. We studied the letter V pretty heavily. The diagonals have been tricky!
We made a super easy Advent wreath. Just tear some green construction paper length wise in slightly different widths. Gather them together with the short widths on the outside and staple into a circle. Cut out the rectangles for the candles and just slide them in between the wreath layers (or glue to inside). Cut out flame shapes and glue on to candles. Easy, no flame, totally portable -- can also use as a St. Lucy crown if needed.
