It's so difficult for children to wait for an long anticipated holiday to arrive. Around our house at holiday time, we heard 'how many days till...' every day it seemed. If your little ones have difficulty waiting for a holiday, how about a countdown calendar? Countdown calendars help children track the days until the big day. Countdown calendars do double duty, too. Countdown calendars are educational and they keep children occupied productively while waiting for the holiday to arrive.

They make an inexpensive, interactive family craft. Here's a free printable countdown to Thanksgiving calendar craft. Free Printable Countdown to Thanksgiving Calendar
