Counting down the days to Christmas a little tradition that is simple but my kids have always liked. These are two easy to make Christmas countdowns your kids will love and so will you. Have you ever made a paper countdown chain before? Try this fun twist the next time a special occasion is coming up! Kids of all ages love these and crafts are great for children’s development. Christmas countdowns are great for kids to keep up with days leading up to Christmas. It is a simple way to make time fly! This easy craft is such a fun way to celebrate your favorite holidays. Then each day that goes by, young children will have so much fun getting to remove one paper link form the chain and see the days literally growing shorter until the big event. That is how you make paper countdown chains. To make a Christmas Countdown, you have to determine where you want to put it, how big you want it to be, and how you want to count down the days. If you want, write your occasion on your topper and include the date. For your last link which will actually be your first loop at the top, cut a slit close to the bottom of your paper chain topper (for us, it’s our apple) and slide the last piece of paper you have into the slit and tape the 2 ends together! Now you have your paper chain countdown! Interlock each paper link to the previous one to create a chain link. Grab your scissors and several more sheets of construction paper and cut out paper strips that correlate to the number of days till the big day.Īfter all your strips of paper are cut out, start taping the ends of each strip of paper together to make loops. One of the Christmas traditions we started with our kids about 5 years ago is the Christmas Countdown.
Next, count how many days till your special occasion. For a Halloween countdown chain, you could draw a ghost or pumpkin and so on. If you have a birthday coming up, draw a cake or a present. For us, we drew an apple for our back to school chain. Take your marker and sketch out what your chain will be hanging from. I used a chalk pencil to mark this on my sign. Add 1 24 around the snowman’s head in black marker. Glue the top hat to the top of the snowman’s head. Find the middle of the snowman’s head and attach the carrot nose with the brad. Cut a carrot out of the orange cardstock. Draw a top hat onto black cardstock and cut out. This is where the top of the belt buckle will be placed. Cut a 10 circle out of the white cardstock. Find the horizontal center of your sign and measure 10.25' from the top of the sign. With all your vinyl pieces ready it's now time to put the sign together. Just start with December 1st and it will be sort of like a cool paper advent calendar and double as cute Christmas decorations. STEP 4: ASSEMBLE THE CHRISTMAS DAY COUNTDOWN SIGN.
The countdown to Christmas has begun, which means that curious little minds are. If you don’t have any special occasions coming up, you could make one for a holiday like Halloween, or even Easter! As a fun variation, you make a paper countdown chain to celebrate Christmas day. Make a simple Christmas Advent Countdown for preschoolers and toddlers. This also works well for the end of school and counting down the days of school left. Your kids are going to love this fun activity!įirst, you need to choose what occasion you will be making your paper chain countdown for! School has not started for my kiddos yet so we chose to make a Back To School paper chain countdown to help get prepared for the first day of school.
