I made this Advent Calendar to help count down the days until Christmas. I thought it would be fun for E... but now I think not so much? He asks ALL day long if he can have his calendar treat, even after he has gotten one for that day. I have caught him on several occasions with a chair trying to get at them. The calendar is hanging on a closet door by our stairs just taunting him as he passes, I think it might be too much for him to know there is candy in ALL of those tins just waiting to be enjoyed. He doesn't get the concept of "one a day" or even waiting for that matter....It's just too HARD!!!!! (I think I will wait until christmas eve before anything wrapped makes it under the tree.)
The Calendar is made of 24 little tins that I covered with paper, stamped a number on, and glued a magnet to the back. The title is vinyl lettering from allysattic, I put it all on a magnetic cookie sheet, tied on some ribbon, and taa-daa.
(a few random numbers are currently missing their treat) 
I also recently made some ornaments for my tree....
