Santa Countdown to Christmas
Just posting something I made last year for my kiddos to use to countdown to Christmas. I made something similar when I was little, so I thought it would be fun to replicate it. I used a Santa from SVGCuts' Santa's Visit SVG Kit and made it as large as possible on my cutting mat. Then I printed out 24 1" circles with numbers on them (1 - 24) and punched them out with a circle punch and glued them to Santa's beard. Then each day you have your child glue a cotton ball and countdown! By the time Christmas is here, Santa has a full beard!

ReplyDeleteHey Kristin! What did you use to get that red smudgy look around the edges and on the cheeks? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou can use either chalk or ink on a makeup sponge or a finger dauber. Chalk is easier and gives a softer, blended look. If you use ink, you have to use a light, gentle touch and start with a light pink and work your way up to the desired color. Hope this helps!
