It seems that as soon as we put away our last Thanksgiving dish, we start counting down the days until Christmas. If kids had it their way, they'd start counting down the days until Christmas starting the day after their birthdays. But the traditional Advent calendar gives a much smaller, reasonable amount of time to work with to make the countdown fun. Advent calendars are also easy to make yourself if you have the right ideas. Here's a little bit of inspiration for creating your own.

Plush Turtle Ball Pit is a soft pal and a play place for babies and toddlers. The Lakeside exclusive cozy and friendly Turtle Activity Bag and the Set of 25 Play Balls combine to entertain babies all afternoon. Sit them inside the pit, or zip the turtle up to discover other activities on the outside of its shell. Designed for babies and young children (ages 6 months to 3 years), the crinkly textures on the turtle's feet and different colored and textured squares on its shell stimulate developing senses and encourage exploration. One square is a mirror, one is clear plastic, one is felt, one is satin, one is corduroy and four other squares have different patterns. Baby will love to toss the bright, lightweight plastic balls, or just roll around in them. The balls can be pushed through a special hole in the turtle's shell. The turtle can also be used for toy storage when not in use. Balls, 3" dia. Turtle, 33" x 26" x 6".
