How does your family count down to Christmas? This easy and affordable DIY Christmas Countdown Dry Erase Board Printable makes counting down fun for kids!
I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but the girls are already asking how long until Christmas?! I think that is a common theme among kids. Christmas is special for so many reasons. I love it because it’s one of the few days that I put down my computer and I’m completely present with my family. Of course the kids love that, but they love the gifts too 🙂
Part of the excitement of Christmas is the countdown. I loved counting down the days until Christmas when I was a kid, and my girls are no different. Every day, we countdown the days to Christmas in a different way. This year, I thought making a Christmas Countdown Dry Erase Board would be a fun and easy way.
If you’re looking for a new way to countdown to Christmas this year, give this simple project a try! You can even get the supplies at your local dollar store, so it’s super affordable! And I’ve put together a free printable to make it super easy too.
This is a fantastic project for kids or to hang on the wall in a small business or office to get people excited about the upcoming holiday (and let them know how many shopping days are left)!
