Ideas to Use the Christmas Countdown Printable Calendar
These simple steps will help you create a fun and interactive way to countdown to Santa’s arrival while adding a touch of holiday spirit to your Christmas decor. Following are some ideas to keep the excitement building until the big day:
Print the Christmas countdown calendar on cardstock to make it more durable or to use as a keepsake for years to come. Hang it up in your house (a great place is by the fireplace mantle) or classroom where it can be easily seen and accessed. Hang it up in your house for the entire family to have fun with, or in your classroom as part of your holiday decor, and fill in the new day each morning. Add cotton balls or pom poms to Santa’s beard to track the progress, color in the stockings with crayons or a dry-erase marker, or use glue and glitter to make them extra sparkly! Involve the whole family in the activity to build anticipation and excitement for Santa’s arrival. Watch as the countdown visually displays the number of days left until Christmas, creating a festive atmosphere in your home.
