Advent does not have to mean 24 little plastic things appearing in the house.
Your Wild Books Mindful Advent Activity Cards turn the countdown to Christmas into a collection of simple family moments, creative ideas and festive traditions you can actually look forward to doing together.
The prompts range from outings like seeing Christmas lights or visiting a market, to easy home activities such as baking cookies, watching a Christmas movie or making a nature-inspired decoration.
There are also thoughtful ideas woven through the set, including giving and donating, so the countdown can include a mix of fun, creativity and generosity rather than focusing only on treats or gifts.
Housed in a small metal tin, the cards are designed to be packed away after Christmas and brought out again the following year.
