Description

An advent calendar of things to do together instead of things to eat. Each fold-over card has the day number on the front and a simple activity on the back: paper snowflakes, a letter to someone far away, a lights walk, bird feeders, a kindness jar, salt dough ornaments, a lantern walk on the longest night, and more.

The 12-page set includes a Start Here page with folding instructions; a December 2026 calendar for matching quick activities to busy days; a supplies checklist for all 25 cards; five pages of day cards (December 1 to 25); ten swap cards for busy, tired or rainy days; five blank cards you can type into; and a memories page to record what you did. Most activities are free or low cost and use things already at home, and each card shows the time, cost and whether it's indoors or out.

The activities focus on time together, kindness and winter, so they suit families of many backgrounds; one card explores winter celebrations from different traditions. Comes in three colour themes (Snowfall, Holly and Gingerbread) in US Letter and A4, with tabs that link every section.

Who it's for: Parents, grandparents, caregivers, teachers and classrooms looking for a simple, low-cost December activity countdown for children..

Frequently asked questions

Is this a physical product?

No. This is a digital download. Nothing is shipped — you download the files from your account after purchase.

How do I get my files?

After payment, go to My Downloads in your account. Your purchase stays available there to re-download.

What can I do with it?

Use for yourself, your household or your own business. Print unlimited copies for that use. No reselling or sharing the files.

Do I need a printer that prints on both sides?

No. The cards print on one side and fold in half, so the number ends up on the front and the activity on the back.

What ages is it for?

The activities suit roughly ages 3 to 11 with an adult helping. Older children can lead some of them. Adjust anything involving ovens, scissors or hot drinks for your child.

Is it religious?

The cards are about time together, kindness and winter. One card invites families to learn about winter celebrations from different traditions, and you can swap any card for your own.

Which apps was it checked in?

We rendered every page, walked every link and checked the calendar and fields with open-source PDF tools. We haven't tested it in Adobe Acrobat, Apple Preview or tablet apps.
