Easy Santa Christmas Countdown for Kids!
Supplies:

- Black Marker
- Twine

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!

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!
