Countdown Activities Are So Much Fun for Kids!

How do you help your kids focus all their energy and excitement for an upcoming holiday (especially the Christmas season)?

You plan and enjoy simple yet super fun activities with holiday themes!

I've discovered that this approach is the best way to keep kids busy and allow them to release all that energy in a positive way.

All 5 of my boys get VERY excited for Christmas. My oldest (who is now 19) still leads the bunch. One of my nicknames for him is Buddy the Elf. And his holiday enthusiasm is contagious (in a good way) for the whole family.

Over the years, I've found creative ways to encourage him (and all of my boys) to prepare for the upcoming festivities.

Countdown activities (like our countdown chains and homeschool tracker charts) have been extremely popular with my crew.

That's why I'm adding this coloring Christmas countdown calendar to my collection of print-and-go activities for holiday fun. And, of course, I just had to share with you 😊

Tips for Extending the Christmas Fun with These Printables

I suggest that you print these countdown calendar pages on white cardstock (for extra durability).

Or you could print on regular white printer paper and then glue onto cardboard or other sturdy surface.

Hang up the Christmas countdown calendar on your refrigerator or other frequently visited area each day in between coloring fun. Your kids will get a kick out of seeing their hard work!

Chat about each daily theme and what your kids have colored. You can ask them about their color choices, patterns, or what they thought about coloring that day.

Laminate the coloring Christmas countdown calendar when complete and save as a special keepsake.

Oh, and make sure to print more copies for next year!

Add some other free Christmas printables to your holiday fun, like our free Christmas random acts of kindness, Christmas crafts (like our 3D paper Christmas tree), games, printable cards, and more! Great ideas for starting family traditions and enjoying quality time together 🎄
