I know I said I was taking a few days off….but I wanted to pop in and share this really easy Christmas Countdown with you so you can do it this week or weekend:) Also…I am sharing a bunch over on instagram and twitter while I take the rest of the week off. Hoping you can visit me there:)
I tend to blog in real timeβ¦I realize this post may have been helpful to have a couple weeks backβ¦.but it is easy to put togetherβ¦and I bet you already have everything you need to make one this weekend. What is nice about this advent calendarβ¦.it is more than just candyβ¦I included a printable list of sweet things to do each day. They cost nothingβ¦they are easy to doβ¦and they will make your advent so special. Things like βturn on a Christmas tune and danceβ¦β β¦.βtell your sibling a favorite memoryβ¦ββ¦.βride your bike around the block shouting βMERRY CHRISTMAS!!!β Free funβ¦.is the best kind of fun;) You can print up the entire list belowβ¦.and have fun with itβ¦add your own in there too!
Supplies:
ListΒ (click on list and another window will open and you will be able to download the entire list and print it out)
5 pieces cardstock (or heavy wrapping paper, kraft paper the heavier paper will help to keep the candy in place.)
stapler
small candies
scissors
Sharpie (I only numbered the last one to open on the 25th :)
printable list of activities for each day
How to:
Cut your paper into 4 inch by 2 inch pieces
Cut out each activity so that it is a small strip of paper
Fold almost in halfβ¦leaving a small lip to cover staple
Glue one activity on the inside
Place piece of candy inside and fold tightly and staple
Fold the top lip over to cover staple
Label the last to open β25β (for the 25th day) Or you could label it β1β to countdownβ¦whatever works:)
Place in a pretty jarβ¦and your done! Let the fun begin!!
Here is the PRINTABLE
Happy Thanksgiving friends!!
