Adorable project. As a family with three kids, I found the pockets to be too small for more than one treat. No worries though, we insert a little folded up paper clue in the day’s pocket for our kids to go find more clues around the house to eventually lead them to their treats. :)
Using the skills learned in the class, I also made mini tassels and felt charms that the kids hang onto the buttons, as we enter each day.
Thanks so much for the fun activity.
