Advent Days 18-24

On Day 18 of Advent, Stirling did a hand and foot print reindeer. The reindeer's face was a footprint, and the antlers were handprints. I forgot to take a picture before we gave it to Stirling's daycare teacher as a Christmas card.



For Day 19, I borrowed an idea from the kindergarten team at school and made a little coloring book titled, "Santa Claus, Santa Claus, What Do You See?" Anyone familiar with the "Brown Bear" books will be familiar with the pattern of this story. Stirling colored a little, but mostly wanted to "write" on the back cover of the book.




Day 20- another matching game. Not much interest in this one.


On Day 21 we did a math game. We rolled the dice and graphed squares according to the picture on the dice. It didn't last long- we each only did a few rolls before Stirling lost interest.



Day22- candy cane alphabet match. We did some, but not all of the letters.




Day 23 was reindeer food day. We mixed oats, seeds, mini-marshmallows, and glitter to leave outside for Santa's reindeer.


Our Christmas Eve activity for the last day of Advent was reading Christmas books. I found a little book that I printed off the internet that told the Bible story in a simple way, and also had a variety of other books, both religious and secular. We read "Santa Cows" and "An Angel Came to Nazareth" as well as "The Night Before Christmas."
