Printable Advent Calendar
I’m so excited to share our Advent Calendar with you! It’s designed to help you create meaningful memories with your loved ones. You can pick and choose from the variety of 45 activities that fit best for your crew. You might plan a few special activities with grandparents or adapt some based on the weather. I intentionally kept some activities a bit vague. This way, you have the flexibility to do a quick Pinterest search and choose an approach that works best with the supplies you already have on hand. I've focused on keeping these ideas low-stress, encouraging togetherness and connection.
Each day, I’ll be pairing the activity with The Tiny Theologians ABCs of Christmas to build anticipation as we count down to this season's greatest gift—our Savior. My hope this year is to encourage gratitude for what we have, to keep an eye out for ways we can bless others, and to cherish our family time together.
We absolutely love our Gathre Advent calendar! They often run a 25% off sale during Black Friday, but if you’re looking for budget-friendly options, Amazon has plenty of alternatives like this one! You can also score great advent crafts and items at thrift stores, Dollar General/Tree, the library, Hobby Lobby (especially during their 50% off sales), or Target’s Dollar Spot.
Here’s a short list of our favorite Christmas and “winter” movies (the ones I don’t mind watching on repeat 😉). For reference, our kids ages 4 and under.
The Grinch (2018 animated)
The Star
The Polar Express
Togo
Frozen
We also enjoy listening to the Listener Kids Christmas album. When it comes to books, The Christmas Promise is our top pick for the season. I snag Christmas PJs for the kids at Walmart for just a few dollars. They love wearing them all month long! Check out my homemade play dough recipe here.
If you haven’t yet, snag a copy of my Feeding The Nobles Cookbook. It would make a perfect Christmas gift for your loved ones!
