Help!?

What can I use if I don't have the ruler, RaeSong track, or glitter listed in the materials?

Use a straight edge like a cereal-box cardboard strip and pencil instead of a ruler, play any festive playlist or sing along if you don't have the RaeSong track, and swap glitter for sequins, stickers, or torn tissue-paper for embellishments.

My paper tears or my glue smudges while making a day's craft—how do I fix that?

Lay scrap paper under pieces before you cut and cut slowly along your pencil marks, use small dots of glue or double-sided tape when you assemble, and hold glued areas with clothespins or paper clips until they dry as the instructions advise.

How can I change the activity for different age groups?

For preschoolers pre-write the numbers and pre-cut pieces and give stickers and washable markers to decorate, for school-age kids have them measure and mark and cut the pieces themselves, and for older children encourage precise measuring, intricate decorations, or supervised hot-glue during assembly.

What are simple ways to extend or personalize our finished Advent crafts?

Turn each finished craft into a pocket or mini envelope to hold a note or treat before you take a photo and share on DIY.org, add a small strip of personalized RaeSong lyrics to each day, or mount all 24 crafts on a poster board after decorations dry for a keepsake display.

Facts about holiday crafts for kids

♻️ Many holiday crafts can be made from recycled household items—upcycling saves waste and sparks creative problem-solving.

✂️ Simple craft actions like cutting, folding, and gluing help build fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination used in writing and dressing.

🎨 Making a craft every day boosts creativity and planning skills because kids practice measuring, following steps, and finishing projects.

📅 The first printed Advent calendars appeared in the early 20th century, turning the countdown into a fun daily surprise.

🎄 The idea of doing one thing each day for 24 days comes from Advent calendars, which count down to Christmas from December 1–24.
