WHY DO YOU NEED A SANTA CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN CALENDAR

You can’t imagine Christmas time without a fun Christmas countdown calendar! It’s like Christmas Tree, Santa Claus with his reindeer, gifts, and candy canes. This is a fun way to spread this most wonderful time of the year a bit earlier, starting from the 1st day of December. Also, it’s a perfect way to spend more time with your family, making Christmas crafts together.

A Christmas countdown calendar is really awesome for kids and middle school young children for a few reasons:

1. Fun Holiday Family Tradition: Advent Calendars are part of many families’ holiday traditions. It’s something special they can enjoy every year, making Christmas feel even more special.
2. Learning to Wait: Waiting to cross off each next day of December teaches them that good things come to those who wait. It’s a lesson in patience and staying calm.
3. Number Recognition: Counting the days until the Christmas day on the Advent Calendar helps kids recognize numbers, understand their order and improve their math skills.
4. Developing Fine Motor Skills: Coloring the small number circles or sticking cotton wool balls to Santa’s beard on the Advent Calendar requires using their fingers and hands, which helps develop their fine motor skills.
5. Boosting Imagination: Kids will always find a creative way to mark the day in a cute Advent Calendar: making a fluffy Santa’s beard, coloring it vibrant colors, or finding their own great way to fill out the calendar. It’s a chance for them to use their imagination and have a great time.

So what to wait? Just choose your new Christmas Santa Countdown Calendar from 3 different Advent Calendars below and enjoy the Christmas season with this easy christmas craft!

You can add more fun and excitement of anticipation of Santa and Christmas Eve by preparing small gifts for each day of the countdown. Use this Printable Advent Calendar to add even more Christmas magic to the wait.
