Advent activities

Here's some photos from some activities we've being doing during Advent.

First is making icing biscuits. The kids love this activity, mainly because they get to eat sweet icing and lollies - I think. They each got to choose a colour for their icing - Ben chose black and Joanna chose blue. Then there was a variety of lollies to choose from to decorate (licorice, mnms, mini marshmallows, choc chips).

We also spent a morning decorating some boxes to use with our Nativity scene dress-ups (another advent activity that I intend to blog about sometime this month), for the wise men's gifts for Jesus. We each decorated one (Ben's is the 1st, mine the 2nd and Joanna's the 3rd), the reason we did 3 was so there is one for each type of gift the wise men brought for Jesus (gold, frankincense and myrrh) - not to perpetuate the 'three wise men' error.
