Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Measure the circumference of a Duplo chocolate brick to determine the size of each banderole.
2. Cut 23 strips of craft paper or cardstock that will wrap around each brick with about 1 cm overlap for gluing.
3. Using a pencil and ruler, lightly mark where you want to write numbers 1 through 23 on each strip.
4. Decorate each banderole strip with numbers and holiday-themed drawings or stickers.
5. Wrap each decorated strip around a Duplo chocolate brick and secure it with glue or double-sided tape, ensuring the number is visible on the front.
6. Arrange the banderolized bricks in order from 1 to 23 on a shelf, tray, or decorative box.
7. Optionally, add a festive background or place each brick in a small paper compartment for a neat display.
8. Each day in December, unwrap the corresponding banderole to reveal the chocolate treat!
