I wanted to share some of my favorite "Countdown To Christmas" activities that we have done in the past. I have made the countdowns easy to make and the children enjoy keeping track of many days are left until Christmas.
Countdown to Christmas Mats: 
Print either on regular or cardstock paper. Glue on to a sheet of colored cardstock paper. Starting on December 1st cover up the number 25 on the mat. Each day cover up another number (24, 23, 22, etc) to count down to Christmas.
You can download the countdown mats here.
Scissor Skills Christmas Countdown:
I made countdown that also work on scissor and fine motor skills. The patterns can be printed on regular or cardstock paper and the children glue them together where indicated to form a long strip. Each day they cut off a number from the bottom of the strip until it is Christmas.
You can grab the patterns here and see a video of this activity by clicking below: 
Christmas Countdown Chain:
For this countdown we cut red and green construction paper into strips and put a number on each one. We alternated the colors of each number link ... for example the first one was red and the next one was green and the third one was red etc.
Children glued together the ends of the first link (number one) and then laced the second link through and glued the ends together. They continued until they had connected all 25 links. We hung the chain up and each day a child was chosen to removed a link from the bottom of the chain which would the show how many days were left until Christmas.

The free membership printable this week is Christmas Alpha Match for fine motor and letter recognition. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... laminated them and cut them out and them.
I made the letters in two different patterns each. I set them out in two different piles making sure to mix the letters up in each pile.
In this activity the children find the letter squares with the same letter and clip them together with a large plastic paper clip or a clothespin.
You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday November 26th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Christmas Puzzles. Christmas alpha match

The free membership printable this week is turkey lacing cards for fine motor skills. I printed them on cardstock ... laminated them and cut them out and them. I then punched the holes where indicated. To make them even more durable I glued the pattern on a second sheet of cardstock paper before laminating them.
I made two different kinds of lacing cards ... one with the lacing holes directly on the turkey and another set with the lacing holes around the border. For the lacing cords I purchased mine at amazon but you can also use yarn with masking tape around one end so it doesn't fray.
In this activity the children lace the holes on the turkey cards with lacing cord or yarn.
You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday November 19th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added an editable thankful turkey. turkey lacing cards
