The teddy bears were sitting peacefully indoors (for a change!) reading books, snoozing or chatting. Crackers noticed that Edward seemed very busy with some strips of coloured paper. Feeling a bit bored in all the quiet, he went over to him.
"Hey Edward! Wotcha doing?" he enquired. "Is that Christmas wrapping paper you're using? It must be for wrapping very small presents!"
"Actually," replied Edward with a smile, "I'm just trying to make an Advent Calendar for us all to use in the run-up to Christmas."
Crackers was Intrigued now. "How does it work then?" he asked, wondering how all those pieces of paper could become an Advent Calendar.
"Well, these strips of paper are usually used to make paper chain decorations to fasten in garlands around the house for Christmas," Edward answered. "We will still end up with some lovely paper decorations, but it will be a more fun way to make them."
