Creative and Easy Advent Calendar

Here is a very cute idea that a fellow mommy came up with!

Advent calendars are everywhere right now. You can easily buy one but I bet its not as cute or as clever as this one!

All thats required is 25 squares of paper, marker, 25 cut our circles and glue

Step 1: Take a circle and write the #1 on it

Step 2: Glue it to the center of one of the squares

Step 3: On the back of the square think of something to do, eat, etc and write it on the back so that on December 1st that gets done. For example, maybe on the 1st of December they can read a story about Santa.

Repeat these steps for all 25 days counting up to Christmas. The hardest part is coming up with the 25 things but the greatest part is that you can adapt it to any age group to make it fun! 

You can store these cards in an old recipe box you probably have in your pantry. Just pull one out each day and your child will be looking forward to the next activity to help them countdown the holidays!

This activity can help with counting, listening and many other skills!

Here are pictures that detail the steps mentioned above.
