I designed and made this easy printable advent set of pyramid boxes many years ago when my kids were toddlers. We’ve used them several times over the years as they are easy to make, you can fill them with a variety of small gifts, sweets or activity cards, and they are the perfect size to hang on the Christmas tree.

I’m very excited to have our Merry and Bright Advent set in the Picklebums shop, ready to download, print and create!
