Since my son is 4 years old this year and has a better understanding of who Santa is, I decided to do a Christmas Countdown Activity with him. I chose this printable Santa’s Beard one I found over at Inviting Printables. It it simple enough for him to do and fun for his age. Everyday you glue a cottonball on to Santa’s beard and when you have all 25 spots filled, it’s Christmas! His baby sister turns 1 this month, so I also circled her birthday for him to countdown to.
