Illustrated Editable Advent Activity Cards for Kids

Illustrated, editable advent activity cards, with a plan on the back of every one. 24 beautiful watercolour cards for December 1 to 24. Turn any card over and you'll find the steps, what you need, an easier option for tired nights, and a question that turns the activity into a real family conversation.

Why These Cards Are Different

• Fully illustrated: a watercolour storybook scene on every card front
• Two-sided: the back tells you exactly how to do it, in 3 simple steps
• Tired night? Every card has an easier backup, so you never skip a day
• Today's feeling: each day names one feeling, such as Hope, Kindness, Gratitude or Peace
• Talk about it: a question on every card that gets children talking, like "No two snowflakes are alike. What makes you one of a kind?"
• Dera Tip: a practical tip from a parent's point of view on every card
• Editable in Canva: change any word, swap activities, add your own traditions
