This year's Christmas Activity Advent Calendar came together quickly. I was able to get this done in under an hour!
This was a very simple project:
1. cut even strips of Kraft Paper
2. fold in half
3. stamp numbers and stars on the front
4.write the activity of the day inside
5. close with Washi tape
I then pinned them onto some twine that will hang somewhere in the house where my son can take them down each day to read the activity. I am excited to try this more simple version out this year.
A lot of the activities are the same as last year's Activity Calendar, but I changed around a few - we have a couple of events this December and I wanted to try out some new activities. too.
1. Decorate the House and Make a Decoration
2. Write a Letter to Santa (we use the Mega Monkey Mash printable)
3. Take a Family Photo
4. Order and Make Christmas Cards
5. String Lights Outside
6. Go Ice Skating
7. Visit Santa at the Company Christmas Party (or the mall)
8. Christmas Family Game Night

10. Watch a Christmas Movie
11. Make a Christmas Craft (this year I am thinking of some hand and foot print crafts)

14. Decorate the Tree
