Christmas Book Advent

I'm so in love with this!
So I had to share it with you.
I got the idea from a good friend last year
and I resolved to do it this year.So you take 24 Christmas and/or winter books
and you wrap them individually.

Then you can either number them and open a certain one each day,
or you can be random and let the kids choose.

Since I am cuckoo for cocoa puffs and want
certain books to be opened on certain days,
I numbered them :)

I used to be a 2nd grade teacher
and picture books are an obsession of mine,
so I had plenty of books for the project.

If you don't have the books,
you can check out books from the library
or do what Tasha did and buy a "LOT" from Ebay.
Also, Scholastic book orders
(grab the nearest teacher - they'll be glad for the points)
are a great resource for cheap books.

The kids love it!
And we worked out that they trade off nights opening one,
so they each get to do it.

Some of my favorite titles are:

Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed
Merry Christmas, Big Hungry Bear!
Snowmen at Christmas
Snowmen at Night
Bear Stays Up for Christmas
Toot & Puddle I'll Be Home for Christmas
Merry Christmas Big Hungry Bear

The Legend of the Poinsettia
Fancy Nancy Splendiferous Christmas
Snowmen at Christmas
