I wasn't organized enough to put together an advent calendar this year, so I made Elise a little "Christmas countdown" instead. It started this morning, and will end on Christmas Eve. Each day, Elise will open up a small gift that corresponds with an activity we can do together.
Christmas countdown gifts and activities:
day 1: homemade barrette for E's hair - hot chocolate date
day 2: zipper pull - winter wonderland walk
day 3: snowflake paper punch - make snowflakes
day 4: bird ornament - make bird feeders
day 5: dog bone cookie cutter - make dog treats
day 6: bubble bath - take a holiday bath (love this snow bath idea from Montessori Beginnings)
day 7: sparkly bracelets - go on a Christmas light cruise
Stay tuned for updates on our holiday fun!
Awesome! Glad you eventually did it! She is one lucky little girl!
