Want to make a cute advent calendar for your kids? Lucky for you I’ve designed a set of free printable number tags that will make this a super quick and easy project!
Do you have paper lunch bags? What about envelopes? Either will work.

Print on white or kraft card stock, though plain white office paper will also work just fine in a pinch. .
Trim on the dashed lines, then clip, staple or tape to the paper bags or envelopes — whatever works. (This is supposed to be easy!) Then fill your bags with treats or other surprises. You can make this as simple or complicated as you wish.
These labels will work for alternative advent calendars that replace prizes with winter-themed books or activities too!
This year I wanted to take a different approach to filling our calendar than I have in years past. We are drowning in “junk” toys, so instead, I bought this Christmas cookie play set. (We have the regular version of this cookie set, and it’s a long-time favorite of Elise’s.) I’m going to divide it up, and each day, she’ll get another piece.
Really running behind and don’t have anything to fill the bags with? You only really have to keep one step ahead of the kids. Just sayin’.

I loved this calendar and made it for my husband :))
Now I don’t know how to keep the bags on the wall. Every few hours I hear a bag drop to the floor and I run to put it back on the wall. Help please!

Stronger tape? Lighter prizes? Clothesline with clothespins? Sorry, those are my only ideas. Gravity is what it is!
