Why Use a Christmas Countdown?
A countdown is an awesome visual for children to help keep track of how many days are left until the Holiday. Young children learn best with visuals and this one helps to prevent them from asking every single day (sometimes multiple times a day if your children are like mine) how many days are left.
Kids can look at the sheet each day and see exactly how many days are left. They love having the ownership of marking off the days that have gone by and the cute images will make for great holiday decorations as well.
Tips for Using These Printable Halloween Countdowns
*Print off the Christmas image as desired. Print off one per child so they each get to have their own ownership over marking off the days or print off one per family and multiple children can take turns marking off the day.
*The number circles on these cute printables are the perfect size for being marked off with the bingo dobbers. You can also mark them off by coloring them in with a marker or crayon or just drawing an x over top of the number.
*Some children both at school or at home will have morning work binders. these would make great additions to a morning work binder. Just add them in and as the children’s jobs, one of the things they can do is mark off the number day it is.
*When using these Christmas printables you can choose to print them off and hang it on a wall or fridge with tape or magnets. You can also hole-punch it and put it in a morning work binder. If you have one accessibl, you can also choose to laminate the printable for durability and it can be used each year over and over.
*These would also make great dot sheets for preschool and kindergarten. You print out extras and leave them at a center. Kids can use dot markers to dot each number and count starting at 1 and going to 25. Dot markers are great for fine motor skills and encourage children to try to stay in the lines while dotting.
