Advent idea for pre-teen

I found some advent crackers I got in a sale (DD LOVES crackers) and it’s a crap year and I need the room in the cupboard. I don’t want to just fill with chocolate (I may on weekends). I can put some stationary in some (they are fairly small).
I quite like the idea of something I can put in pieces, like Lego, but not Lego, to stretch it out.
She’s 12. Not ‘girlie’ so no makeup.
24 to fill... gulp

You could get a Christmas jigsaw and divide the number of pieces into roughly 24. You’d need to do it yourself first, however, to make sure you put adjoining pieces in the same cracker/consecutive crackers so that she could build it up.
You could get a painting by numbers and give her a different colour of paint each day.

Nice ideas but I think they are a bit young (she’s 12).
