Santa Beard Countdowns – Choose Which Version Works For You!
This printable comes in two delightful versions, perfect for kids of all ages.
Santa’s Beard Countdown Version 1
In the first version, you’ll find numbered circles, transforming Santa’s fluffy beard into a whimsical advent calendar.
Santa’s Beard Countdown Version 2
But the fun doesn’t stop there! The second version provides a blank canvas for those who prefer a more creative and spontaneous approach.
Pair either version with this printable Forgetful Santa easy reader game!
Materials Needed:
- Santa’s Bearded Christmas Countdown Printable
- Glue
- Cotton balls
Note: Jumbo cotton balls will be too large for the circles on this beard. You can use smaller/non-jumbo cotton balls or do what we did – rip the cotton balls into smaller pieces of fluff.
My kids loved doing this and it was easy and added more fine motor skills to the activity!
How To Make Santa’s Bearded Christmas Countdown:
If you choose to use this printable as an advent calendar, print and prepare for some joyful anticipation.
Each day leading up to Christmas, your children can glue on a fluffy cotton ball, counting down the days in anticipation of Santa’s arrival.
If you choose to use this printable as a one-time Christmas craft, all you need to do is print and let your kids’ creativity run wild.
Kids can let their imaginations run wild, placing cotton balls wherever their hearts desire.
It’s a fantastic opportunity for them to express their unique holiday spirit and get into the festive mood.
Save your extra cotton balls for an Elf on the Shelf snowball fight!
Spirit Of The Season
While you’re busy crafting Santa’s Beard Christmas Countdown with your little ones, it’s the perfect time to engage in heartwarming conversations that celebrate the spirit of the season.
As you place those cotton balls daily, consider discussing the traditions and stories that make Christmas special in your family.
Or, as you watch your children complete the craft in one sitting, use the time to share tales of Santa Claus and his magical journey or explore the origins of holiday traditions from around the world. Encourage your children to talk about their own holiday wishes and dreams.
This craft provides an excellent opportunity to emphasize the values of giving, gratitude, and kindness.
These conversations not only enhance the crafting experience but also create lasting memories and teach valuable lessons about the true meaning of Christmas.
Whether you’re counting down the days or adding fluff to Santa’s beard, these printables will infuse your home with the joy and excitement of the holiday season.
Either way, it is a wonderful way to make the days leading up to Christmas special, creating cherished memories with your little ones that will last a lifetime.
