My Mom had a great idea this year for an Advent calendar for
little man. A book a day.
I’m not sure if she came up with the idea herself, or read
it somewhere, but either way, I give her all the credit. She wrapped up 24 books and each
morning little man gets to open the package with the number that corresponds
with the day.
Seriously, a brilliant idea.
I figured he would enjoy this, but I had no idea just how much he’d love it. He wakes up each morning wanting to
open the book for the day. He
remembers what number we opened the previous day and he knows what the current
day is. If anything, this ‘advent
calendar’ is a great way to practice numbers and counting! Again, Mom, you're brilliant. I’m lucky to have a teacher for a
mother! :)
I totally recommend this for younger kiddos. You don’t even have to use new
books. My Mom gathered up some
books she had from when my brother and I were younger {works out in my favor
that she saves things!} and then she purchased a few at the book fair at her
school.
The books are just wrapped with simple plain paper with a
big number written in marker on the top.
Easy. And, the
kid loves it. LOVES it!
Books are much healthier than candy too!
Mom, you’re a genius!
Thanks for the idea, and the 24 new books!
