Advent calendars
23. 11 – 1.12 2020
As part of fundraising efforts for the International Expatriates Association (IEA ) and their charities, I planned craft activities for children to make toilet roll Advent Calendars that I had seen on the internet and thought it would be a novel idea and something different.
Unfortunately gathering at home is prohibited at present and we could not have hold our planned event. We came up with a plan however for Emi and me to make them at home and try to sell them.
We made 9 in total and they were all different and unique – I have been collecting toilet rolls insides since March and Emi has been shopping for bits and bobs for a long time too) and we raised LKR 23,500 (£100) in total.
They looked very pretty and believe me, Emi and Misa are exited every morning what they are going to find in theirs even though Emi should remember what she put inside.
Brilliant achievement and so easy to do.
