Instructions

Use black marker to add numbers to the beard section. You can also add a name to the top of the plate as well. Totally optional but I think it looks cute!
Punch a hole at the top of the countdown and tie a piece of string to hang with.
Kids can countdown to Christmas by gluing a cottonball on top of each number. They'll have so much fun counting down to the big day!

Time to Countdown!

There are few days in the year that are more exciting than Christmas for kids. It’s no wonder why they love marking off the days on Christmas countdowns!

This project would be great for a classroom to work on because it’s super easy to assemble and only requires a few basic supplies. Depending on the plates you buy, this Christmas Countdown for Kids could be made for less than $0.40 each!
