Advent just started yesterday and I thought JDaniel would start it out with an Advent tin. I made flat presents out of an empty cereal box to cover in old wrapping paper.
Welcome! My name is Deirdre and I am JDaniel4's Mom. After teaching in Virginia for twenty years, I was a stay at home mom learning and growing beside my son JDaniel the 4th for five years. I recently went back to teaching at a local school here in South Carolina.

I think this is an idea I may have to borrow!;) Love the presents and the tree tin. Going to be on the lookout for some more fun shaped tins for my own guys.

I don’t think it was a stretch. I think it sounds perfect. I’ve decided to wait to do the holiday muffin tins as I feel I am going to run out of ideas. Have to look back and see what I did last year.
Sugary Flower says
You think that’s a stretch? My daughter bought round pikelets as “reindeer footprints”! This is cute (although I did have to giggle at the thought of the little lamb chop bites running around in the pasture…) ๐

Lexie Loo, Lily Boo, and Dylan Too! says
That’s a great idea!
I can’t wait to start these with my baby. My big kids aren’t a fan of them anymore.
Barbara says
What a very cute idea! I love it!
Jill from PJgamers says
Forgive me, but I’m a little confused. Does he open the “presents” one at a time? or is it just a cool way to serve it? Is he familiar with advent calendars?
Anyway, I’ve never thought of serving toddlers in muffin tins…and I think it’s completely brilliant! They’re always sneaking off with the tins anyway to play with them.
Mommyof2girlz/StephD says
