This homemade Christmas countdown calendar is easy to make, and the kids can help! Here's what you'll need before you start:
Step 1: Draw your tree on one side of the poster board, and color it in.
Step 2: Write the numbers 1-24 spaced evenly on the other side and 25 near the top of the tree. A ruler might come in handy if you have one!
Step 3: Draw and cut out 24 ornaments on construction paper, and one star or topper of choice.
Step 4: Use a dot of glue or tape to hang the ornaments below each number, and the star below the 25.
Step 5: On each day of December, take one ornament off the calendar and stick it on the tree. On the 25th day of December (Christmas Day) you will put the star on the top of the tree, and your tree will be complete!
Hint: To reuse the calendar next year, laminate the poster board and ornaments, and use tape instead of glue.
Merry Christmas from Amanda and the girls!
