All you need is candy and/or small toys, saran wrap, and ribbon ties.
Here's how ours turned out:
There are several spins you could take on this and probably make them a lot cuter when you're not on a budget :)

::christmas countdown::
No we're not starting to countdown to Christmas just yet... I'm a firm believer of waiting until after Thanksgiving to really start counting down, but tonight for FHE we got started on some of our christmas gifts. We made christmas countdowns for all our nephews and nieces (something to look forward to carrie, sarah, caroline, and kjirst)! Its our super easy, super inexpensive version of an advent calendar. We'll give it to them at Thanksgiving so they'll get to open and eat 1 piece of candy (starting dec. 1) for 24 days straight (please don't hate us parents)! If your looking for something cute, simple, and fun to do for your nieces and nephs (or yourself) you should totally do this!
