Trucker Kids - Our Advent Calendar

I just finished making our advent calendar for this year.  I got the idea on pinterest (Find original idea here).  I decided to incorporate the advent wreath and it's symbolism.  So here is what I came up with.

Materials:
25 toilet paper tubes
3 different patterns of purple 8x11 scrapbook paper (about 3 sheets of each)
1 pattern of pink 8x11 scrapbook paper (2 sheets)
White computer paper (roughly 5 sheets)
black marker
red yarn
green tissue paper (depending on the size of the sheet about 6 sheets)
1 sheet white tissue paper
a cardboard circle to glue everything to
hot glue
strips of paper with age appropriate readings (or stories) and activities printed on them
treats
tape

1.)  Decide what readings or books you are going to use and what activities you would like to do for each day (I keep a master list in a separate place as well)  Type them up and print them out.
2.) Create a label for each week (Hope, Love, Joy, Peace, and we added the Christ "candle" as well).
Print the correct number on the correct color paper (Joy is pink and the Christ one is white).  The first 3 weeks should have 7 each.  Peace I think worked out to be 3.  There is only one for white.
3.) Wrap each toilet paper tube in a quarter sheet of green tissue paper (except for 1 which will be wrapped in the white). Twist and tie with a short piece of the red yarn.  Fill with the slip of paper containing the reading and activity, as well as any treats you want to put it.  Twist and tie off the top.  
4.) Take each label and cut to size and tape into place.  Number accordingly.
5.) Lay out the finished toilet paper tubes on the cardboard circle.  When satisfied with the layout and hot glue into place.
I am going to put it on the table with a centerpiece probably of some fake poinsettias in the center.
Open the tubes on the correct day and enjoy.  :-)
