Easy Advent Calendar for Preschoolers To Make

I love making this Advent calendar with the kids! It’s just so simple, and is a good way to keep track of how many days until Christmas.

What you need:

  • Christmas picture to color. You can find several coloring pages here
  • construction paper in Christmas colors or your child’s favorite
  • child-sized scissors (You and your preschooler will LOVE the ones that come with the Super Scissors Book.
  • Glue or tape

What you do:

Have your child color and cut out the Christmas picture you chose.

Count how many days there are left until Christmas morning. Cut a strip of construction paper for each day.

Tape or glue each strip into a ring. Make them into a chain and attach to your picture.

For some extra fun, see if your child can create a pattern with the colors.

Hang the chain up where your child will see it everyday. Before he or she goes to bed each night, have them cut one ring off the chain.

When you cut off the last ring, the next morning is Christmas!
