Description
Stitch on the moon, craft the sweetest little Star Pocket and then – alone or with your child – go into nature and find the perfect stick or fallen branch on which to hang the cloth. Once hung with care, explain to your little one that a golden star will appear every day in the Star Pocket for them to find – leave it by their bed to discover at bedtime, or first thing in the morning…
Each day a star is added and you can say to your child, “When the night sky is full of stars it will be Christmas”.
This kit is accessible to all levels of crafter – beginners included, and comes with password protected links to online video tutorials guiding you through every step to create this heirloom Advent calendar for your family.
