we made our own “pull the tab” advent candles. definitely more teacher prep than we typically do, but it was fun for the kids to have the experience of “lighting” their candles

there was lots of counting and careful work as they chose pieces to glue/slide in the right spots.

Advent! Advent! A candle burns!

Advent! Advent! A candle burns!

First one, then two, then three, then four!

Then stands the Christ child at your door!
