Okay, so we’re attempting an Advent calendar based on Steve Backshall’s Deadly 60! So far so good. Lo chose 19cards to borrow from his Deadly 60 collection and we used all 5 of Rohan’s and stuck them onto card (Weetabix box). Front bit of the calendar designed by the boys. Rohan said “wow, cool!”

Next step: cutting 24doors/windows on the front cover. Lo a bit reluctant about that, not wanting the drawing outline of his toy monkey Lliw, to be slit.

Daddy to the rescue. 24 skulls etched out, a lesson on odd and even numbers and with Lo painting bits of white skulls and writing the numbers for the doors/windows – we have the only Advent calendar in the world with a paralysis tick behind door one.
