Fodeez® Reusable Adhesive Frames can be creatively transformed into an interactive advent calendar, making the countdown to the holidays both fun and engaging for families. Here’s how you can use them:
1. Personalized Daily Surprises
Each day leading up to Christmas, use a Fodeez® Frame to display a new surprise or activity. Write down a fun family activity, a holiday-themed joke, or a small treat idea on a piece of paper, and place it in the frame. This allows family members to look forward to something special each day.
The best part ... you can save your Fodeez® Reusable Adhesive Frames and calendar printouts to use again year after year!
Place 24 Fodeez® Reusable Adhesive Frames in the 2x3 size on a wall or your refrigerator.
We've helped by creating number templates for you to download, print and cut. Then all you need to do is write your activity on the back of each numbered cut out, then slip under the frame. Fun surprises every morning!! Click the images below to download.
