Shopping List:

Santa beard print out
White pom poms or cotton balls
Glue

Cost: Less than $5

Prep Time: Less than 5 minutes

Clean-Up Time: Less than 5 minutes

I initially found the countdown template on Pinterest.  You can download and print it out for free here.  I got a large bag of assorted Christmas colored pom poms at Michael’s… which worked out great, because it gave us an extension activity – Big M had to sort out the small, white pom poms for the beard.  We saved them in a small plastic bowl for easy access each day.  She enjoyed it so much, that every morning she asked for more pom poms and created an activity all on her own – Sorting and Patterns with Pom Poms!
