Free Printable Advent Calendar for Kids to Color and Countdown to Christmas

As I was sitting here thinking about Thanksgiving I realized that if I am going to start a Christmas advent calendar with my kids and have time to share it with you for your kids I needed to make it now because December 1st is almost here. I am so excited to share with you what I came up with because it’s a simple print and go activity for the holidays! Each day before Christmas kids can color a different ornament that has Santa or a winter theme to it. When they are done they can hang it on their advent calendar that looks like a Christmas tree. It’s a fun activity to keep your kids busy before Santa shows up. 

 
 

Each year kids could color a new set of ornaments or you could laminate them and flip through them each year.

For those of you with good eyes, the printable says countdown and not count down (as shown in the large photo). Sometimes I make mistakes at 1 a.m. after a full day of kids–purty sure I am working on half a brain right now :).
