DIY Advent Calendar Art Project With Mini Canvases

Swap a mini art session for the traditional little chocolates

This makes for a great little daily art project to get your kids counting down to Christmas. It subs in some artistic expression for a daily sweet and you’ll have a super cute homemade holiday decoration ready to go for next year. (Or, you could just paint over the previous year’s project and start over)

  • 25 2″ by 2″ (or bigger if you so choose) mini canvases. You could also do 24 canvases if you’d rather just count down to Christmas Eve
  • a pencil
  • some masking tape (or any other easily removable tape)
  • paint markers or acrylic paint (even regular markers will work OK)
  • a large piece of bristol board that will accommodate all 25 mini canvases
