A cut and stick activity for students to make their own advent calendar. I have purposly omitted any written words as this is for children who are already familiar with Christmas vocabulary. The idea is that when they open a window they have to name the revealed image. I have included pics in black and white for those of you who are not able to print in colour. Feedback is always valued and appreciated. Have a great Christmas everyone. 'Joyeux Noël et bonne année à tous&'.
