Advent calendar made from 100-yen store Petit Blocks
https://www.tiktok.com/@erikahome8/video/7442679008086592776When it comes to advent calendars, it’s standard to have a little cute treat each day, but how about making it mini-sized building blocks instead? Using 100-yen store mini blocks is an easy option, but be sure to choose a set appropriate for the child’s age! First, separate the blocks needed for each step of the build, and put them into small zippered storage bags.
If possible, copy the instruction sheet, cut it into steps, and include the relevant part with each bag—this will enhance the excitement of “I wonder what it will be?” On the final day, you could make it special by adding a message card and having them search for a treasure filled with sweets!

Packed with fun! An interactive Advent calendar
How about making a fun, hands-on advent calendar? Inside envelopes labeled with the dates are cards with messages.
Each card has a simple mission like “Take a photo with Santa” or “Decorate the tree.” They’re all Christmas-themed, sure to make every day delightful! When you create it, think of missions that are manageable for your child’s age.
If you prepare envelopes in Christmas colors and hang them on the wall, they’ll double as decorations.
100-yen store DIY! Advent calendar made with cups and a wooden box
Here’s an idea for an advent calendar made by filling a tall cup with a Christmas design with presents.
Prepare your favorite sweets and small items, pick a few, wrap them in origami paper, and place them in the cup so the contents can’t be seen.
Stick date-numbered labels on the sides of the cups, set them in a wooden box, and you’re done.
You can buy a wooden box or make one yourself by assembling pieces of wood.
If your child can read numbers, try arranging the cups in the wooden box at random on purpose.
If you say, “Where’s today’s cup?” it’ll feel like a treasure hunt and they’ll have fun with it.
Advent calendar made with 100-yen shop items
When you want to make an advent calendar easily, the ones from 100-yen shops that you just assemble are super handy! There are various designs, so you can buy your favorite, put it together, then just fill it with sweets or toys and you’re done.
Since sweets and toys are also sold at 100-yen shops, you can buy everything in one go.
You can fill it and give it to your kids as a present, or have them help during the making stage and let them pack their favorite treats—it sounds fun either way.
House-shaped Advent calendar
How about making house-shaped Christmas ornaments out of kraft paper? They’re simple and stylish, and if you put candy inside, they become an advent calendar.
First, prepare a house-shaped template and cut the kraft paper.
Next, use a white pen to draw roof patterns, windows, and a door.
Fold it up, apply glue to the tabs, and assemble.
Then punch a hole in the roof and thread a string in your favorite color through it.
Put in your child’s favorite treats, attach another string, and hang it on the Christmas tree.
The window and roof patterns will look cute in a variety of colors, too!
Stylish and cute advent calendar
Here are some stylish advent calendar ideas you can make using patterned paper and black construction paper.
Fold the patterned paper into a small bag, add the contents, then close it by forming a 3D triangle.
Cut the black construction paper into tag shapes, stamp the dates with gold ink, then punch holes in both the triangular patterned paper and the tags and thread them together with string.
You can display the finished pieces in a basket, or hang them as ornaments on your Christmas tree—they’ll look adorable either way.
Semi-transparent and metallic patterned papers are especially recommended!
Also works as ornaments! How to make an advent calendar
Let me share an idea for an Advent calendar made with coffee filters that can also double as Christmas ornaments.
First, write the date in the center of a coffee filter and punch a hole at the top.
Put candies or small toys inside, then fold the left and right edges inward and staple them closed.
Make as many as you need in the same way, then thread a string through the holes to hang them up.
Since coffee filters are simple, I recommend adding Christmas stickers or decorating them like ornaments.
