14. Reverse Advent Calendars: Prepare a gift for others
Why not use this time to teach your child about giving back to those in need? Go out with your child to buy tinned or non-perishable items then get your child to put in one item in the box each day until Christmas.
A few days before Christmas, pack up your box and head to a charity with your kids so they can see how they’ve helped. If you’ve chosen to put money in the box instead, take your kids grocery shopping with the cash on day 22, and bring your purchases to charities such as Foodbank or Willing Hearts.
