Here's a list of everything I'll be using to create the 24 days Kiddy Creative Advent Calender.

 I've put affiliate links to Amazon because we have Amazon Prime and it was simple and easy just to put everything in one basket and checkout, definitely the most time efficient way to stock up.
However there are lots of other places you can shop, eBay & The Works can be great places to have a look.
A note on eBay... I use eBay a lot of craft items but a word of caution, some things are shipped from Hong Kong/China and can take up to 60 days to arrive so double check the estimate arrival dates before you check out.

Kiddy friendly paints & Glue

are required for some crafts & I've not included Amazon links to these as I'm not sure which ones are child friendly. We get our from The Works or Wilko.

Fir Cones

We've got some that we've collected in the local park. You can buy them but keep your eyes peeled out and about and I'm sure you'll find some

Loo Rolls

Yep, the good old loo roll. I can remember wishing my mum kept more of these for Blue Peter type crafts but we never had enough.

We'll be making paper roll snowmen/Santas & Reindeers on 23rd & Paper Roll snowflakes on 14th so start saving up your rolls!

Sticky dots for eyes & other things.

I've included a few different options, if you do lots of crafts some of the bigger packs might be a better buy for you.

It can be good to have slightly larger white circles and then smaller black ones for making eyes but you can just use simple small black dots for eyes too.

You can also use the goggle eyes too!

If you'd rather use stickers than pompoms for Rudolphs nose & stickers rather than jewels & glitter to decorate the trees then a multi-colour pack might be a better buy.

Jewels/Sparkles

For the Sparkly Jewel Christmas Tree card (Day 2)

My daughter loves making things with sparkly jewels. Sainsbury's has a great tub of jewels.

There's also these ones on Amazon:

Another that my daughter loves! We don't use it too often or we'd go through tonnes of the stuff but Christmas seems like a lovely exception for a glittery treat.

Card Stock

For the cards you can you standard card stock and fold it yourself or you can buy card blanks which are pre folded.

The best advice I have is if you're going to do footprints/handprints take note of the height of the cards.

A6 cards are 148mm in height
A5 cards are 210mm in height.
