Christmas Countdown Calendar Printable

Materials needed:
Printable material (best printed on white card stock) Click for your printable Santa.
Cotton balls (24)
Glue
Optional: hole punch and ribbon to hang the calendar

Directions:
1. Print the advent calendar. If hanging it up, it works best to print on a heavier paper, like cardstock. To hang, simply punch a hole in the top center of the paper. Run a string or ribbon through and hang on a thumb tack or nail.
2. Starting December 1st, let your little one glue a cotton ball on the date. Continue through December 24th, and watch the excitement build as Santa’s beard grows fuller and fluffier each day! When Santa has a complete, snowy-white beard on Christmas Eve, that means he’s coming to deliver presents that very night!
