This year has been awful for us all, and I’m probably speaking for others too when I say a lot of our December outings and festivities have had to be cancelled this year, and this left me thinking – just how can I keep the excitement and magic alive for the kids whilst being at home? Then my mom sent me this amazing idea of a Santa’s beard countdown that she’d seen on Facebook I believe, so I decided to have a go myself because anything extra that they can do and look forward to doing is a bonus this year, and it is really quick and simple to make using things you’re more than likely to already have in the home.
Literally all it took me was the following:
- coloured card (you can colour in plain paper if you don’t have any)
- scissors
- glue stick
- felt tip pens
- cotton wool balls or pads for when you start to stick them on
As I said it’s so cheap and easy to do, you can even get the kids to make most of it themselves. I think it takes the pressure off having to buy chocolate and toy advent calendars, or it’s just a nice added activity to look forward on the lead up to Christmas.
