Make Your Own Ancient Greek Myth Sisyphus and his Rock Advent Calendar - new for 2025

Help Sisyphus push his Rock up that hill and mark the run up to the festive season in a different way!

Each day of December, move Sisyphus one step closer to the summit. Will he make it?

Keep Sisyphus' mountain plain and uninspiring OR decorate it with the included Underworld figures. Why not add to it as he ascends, giving him an audience to cheer him on? Use the final figure - Sisyphus Wins! - to celebrate your completed countdown! (Warning: may constitute hubris. No responsibility is taken by the creator of this calendar if the gods decide to punish you. But hey, what could they possibly do right now?)

The calendar arrives as a PDF, ready to print, cut out, and stick, with full instructions. All you then have to do is move Sisyphus each day!

Prop your calendar on a shelf, or put it on your desk. The watercolour tones look beautiful in sunlight or candlelight.

Materials needed:

• Colour printer
• Thick paper or stiff card (I used 300gsm for my build)
• Scissors
• Craft knife
• Ruler (preferably metal)
• Glue stick

Time needed to make: excluding printing time, about 10-15 mins.

The Price reflects you printing and making one copy. To make lots, such as for students in schools, forever, see the For Teachers and Schools listing - COMING SOON
