Christmas Book
Countdown!!!
Hello
Bookworms!!
This is one for all you bookworms with
kids! While I was looking at Christmas Ideas, I came across an Idea: The
Christmas Book Countdown!! It’s a fun twist on an Advent calendar with
books!
What
You’ll Need:
Christmas
books
A
Box
Wrapping
Paper
Labels
or a Marker
Here’s
How it works:
First,
parents should pick out children’s story books that fit the Christmas theme
(These can be of a religious nature or not). You can start your countdown at any
time, but, for the purposes of this post, we’ll assume that you start the
countdown on December 1st.
So,
if you start at December 1st, you’ll need 24 books (Remember, you
can start at any time meaning if you wanted to start the week before you’d only
need seven. You can adjust the Christmas Book Countdown to suit your budget J )!
Next,
wrap each of the books in the wrapping paper you chose.
As
you wrap, label each of the books with the numbers 1 through 24 using a label
you made or just writing the numbers with a marker (careful when using markers
that the ink doesn’t bleed through the paper and mark the front of the book).
Now
place the wrapped, labeled books into the box or on the shelf you chose making sure that number
24 is the first book and number 1 is the last book.
Each
night your child picks up the correct book, unwraps it, and you and the child
(or the whole family) reads the story together. As the days go on, the numbers
get smaller as Christmas gets closer.
This
in a fun way for you and your children to bond as Christmas gets closer and
share the joy of books and the Christmas season. Plus it’s an activity that can
be done inside where it’s warm. J
Thinking
about making your own Christmas Book Countdown?

Merry
Christmas and Until next time,
