Castlechanter Audio Advent Calendar Crafts and Recipes: Week Three
This week of the Castlechanter Fairy Audio Advent Calendar is filled with wonderful baked goods and lots of crafting. The adventures Oscar and Aliyah go on just keep getting richer and richer as they learn about themselves along the way. We hope you are learning alongside them — we know that we are!
Day Fifteen:
Homemade gifts can be a favorite part of the holiday season. In this story, Oscar and Aliyah make gifts in class — a little bit like our DIY treasure bags. Your child could make them to put gifts in or as a gift itself.

Squirrels can be wonderfully entertaining — and a little needy, too. If you have troubles with squirrels in your yard, try giving them a gift this winter with our homemade squirrel feeder. And if you find yourself feeling a bit hungry afterwards, try our bird seed energy bites.
