Christmas Advent Calendar Printable — 24 Days of Kids Activities

Product description

A printable advent calendar turns the wait for Christmas into 24 small moments together. This Christmas advent calendar printable gives kids a different activity for every day from December 1 to 24, with a countdown chart to fill in, 24 activity cards to open and everything they need for each day’s craft, puzzle or game.

It’s made for ages 4–8. Each card shows the day number, a title, short instructions and a cute picture, and every activity that uses scissors has a grown-up help note.
