How to set up the activity advent calendar printable
Read through the 24 cards first and move busy-day picks, marked with a star, to the days you know will be hectic. Swap any card that doesn’t suit your family for one of the blank cards. Then tuck each card into a numbered envelope, bag or pocket using the number tags.
Open a card each morning so there’s time to plan, and keep supplies for the week in one basket. The activity advent calendar printable needs no candy, so it works for kids with allergies too. Most activities take under 30 minutes and need things you already have at home.
