How do the boxes work?

Each sheet has four little pillow boxes with a day number: cut them out, crease the curved lines, glue the side, put in a sweet or a note and press the curved ends shut. Line them up or hang them on a string.

How does the door calendar go together?

The first page is the picture with 24 doors cut on three sides, the second the pictures behind them. Glue the two together at the edges — not behind the doors.

What are the activity cards?

A small thing to do together each day — bake biscuits, write a card, a winter walk — to put in an envelope, box or jar. Type your own if you like.

Should I print on card?

Light card for the boxes; the door calendar and cards work on normal paper too.
