Ayyam-i-Ha Craft: Advent Style Banner
Ayyam-i-Ha is the time of the year for gift giving, celebrating, and performing acts of charity. Our Ayyam-i-Ha traditions have evolved over the years as the kids get a bit older. This year I made an advent type banner with 4 pockets–1 for each day of Ayyam-i-Ha. Every morning the kids wake up to an Ayyam-i-Ha surprise in the pocket!
Materials:
Instructions:
Each day of Ayyam-i-Ha you can fill a pocket with a fun family activity, treats or small gifts.

Such a neat idea! Thanks for sharing
I wonder what you did when the kids were younger – I noted that you said that your traditions evolved as the kids grew – we’ve got one young one and am looking for ideas to build our family’s tradition.
