Make December feel like December, one small moment at a time. This printable family advent calendar gives you 25 warm, realistic activities, one for each day from December 1 to Christmas morning. They are low-cost, mostly use what you already have, and come with a "short on time" version for busy school nights.

Print the cards, tuck one into each numbered envelope or bag, and let the kids open one a day.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • 25 activity cards in five kinds: kindness, in the kitchen, crafts, outdoors and cozy nights. Each has clear steps, a "you'll need" line and a 10-minute "short on time" version
  • Kindness theme pack: 25 more cards, most of them costing nothing
  • Cozy-at-home theme pack: 25 slow, homey evenings
  • Idea bank: 50 more ideas to swap in
  • Blank cards to write (or type) your own ideas
  • 25 fold-up numbered envelopes that hold one card each, with cut and fold guides

  • "Our December" planning calendar
  • 24-day countdown poster to color in
  • Setup guide and month-long supply checklist
  • Black & white ink-saver edition of every card, label and envelope
