ReplyDeleteIsn't lego wonderful, and that's such a doable advent activity and it uses stuff you already have - we might have to copy.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your advent activities so much! And ... kind of wishing my kids weren't too old for this sort of thing. (Don't tell anyone I said that. I have a reputation to protect.)
