It’s December! Anyone else already start a Christmas countdown? December is one of my favorite months and I want to pass on my love for this holiday season to my kids. With this year being a roller coaster, I’m fully embracing a daily dose of holiday cheer. You with me?? I love the idea of a Christmas countdown with advent activities for the family.

Advent Activities

I created this free PDF with various ways to build up the excitement for Christmas. Most of the advent activities can be done with none to little prep!! Perfect for busy parents, which is my style 100% haha. But I also wanted the activities to go deeper than just time fillers. So these advent activities also help develop your child’s motor skills, EQ, creativity, imagination, attending skills and so much more! Print out your favorite PDF and enjoy making beautiful memories with your family. Click the image below to download and print your own!

What to Expect

I want to share some examples of the advent activities so you know what to expect!! Of course, personalize it to your child’s interest and add your own personal spin. Also, please share what you create to inspire me!!

  • Make a wreath—I saw this post on Instagram and knew I wanted to do it with my kids! A short nature walk collecting greenery, rubber bands/glue and and old box (aka empty BFCM shopping boxes) is all you need!
  • Bake cookies and share them—This year I want to try to make gingerbread cookies and The Minimalist Baker has this recipe with great reviews.
  • Go caroling—I used to go caroling when I was a kid and I think it will be fun/embarrassing to do it with my kids this year!
  • Read holiday books–Check out Kari’s post that shares 20 holiday books for kids!

Merry and Bright

I hope that you can focus on the merry and bright in your life and enjoy this beautiful month with your family making the most special memories! Please don’t forget to share any of your advent activities with us. So grateful for you, beautiful friends! —Melissa
