Free Printable Candy Advent Calendar
"This free printable advent calendar can be made in about 1/2 hour and would be a fun project to do with the kids since it is so quick and easy! I used a sheet metal shingle I got at Ace Hardware because it costs less that $2.00. All you do is print out the advent calendar, use glue stick to adhere it to the shingle, put a hanger on the shingle and put magnets on the backs of wrapper peppermints! EASY!"
