Isn’t it such a fun tradition to countdown to Christmas with an Advent Calendar for kids?

Advent calendars for kids build their excitement for the BIG DAY when they open a small treat, or scripture, or gift every day of December.

There are so many different kids advent calendars out there. While you can just pick up a cheap chocolate or candy one, there are a wide variety of other types of advent calendars, many which I have written about over the years.

Some people prefer making their own advent calendars where they put their own daily advent calendar ideas in them, whether it is a toy, or a scripture, or an activity for that day! We've done similar and it's very fun to plan out the holiday fun with a daily activity, along with a scripture.

If you like doing an advent calendar for kids that is far more interactive, and doesn't even really include a calendar, you'll likely love something like Elf on the Shelf. You daily move an object around your home, tell stories about it, and so on. Kids get super excited about these types of hands-on Christmas countdowns.
