i am in love with this idea! fill 25 little bags with ornaments and a bible verse about Christ birth. Everyday (starting Dec 1) let child open a bag and hang an ornament on the tree and teach them about the story of Jesus birth.
I like the idea of using a tension rod between the two shelves for a curtain to create a stage for puppet shows or talent performances or hide things before company comes over! Plus I'm pretty sure everything here is from IKEA!
