[quote=Anonymous]I have a 3yo and we're doing an activity Advent calendar instead of a traditional one with chocolates or presents. I'm not religious, but I like the idea of a countdown and wanted to get the focus off presents.
Each morning he checks his calendar and there's an activity for the evening/day tucked inside.

Here's our list (not in order), most of which we'd do anyway:
Eat a candy cane on the way home from school
Make and mail cards
Make and hang snowflakes (from coffee filters, easier than paper)
Decorate the tree
Pick 3 toys to give to Goodwill
Make salt-dough ornaments
Paint ornaments
Take silly pictures in Santa hats
Make a video of us singing a Christmas song and email it to aunts/uncles/grandparents
Make cotton ball snowmen
Go see the trains and miniature buildings at the Botanic Gardens and the Capitol tree
Go see the White House trees
Zoolights
Pick out and drop off a toy for Toys for Tots
Picture with Santa
Watch the old How the Grinch Stole Xmas in Mama's bed
Make a present for teachers
Wrap family presents
Make a thaumatrope
Make cookies
Go ice skating (I hope, we're trying this next week, he might be too little)
Make a gingerbread house
Go for a drive to look at the lights in our PJs
Hot chocolate for breakfast
Open new PJs and a Xmas/winter book on Xmas Eve
