Countdown Calendars

We made these Fall leaves by using markers on coffee filters. They turned out really beautiful. I just finished laminating them so that the kids can handle them on a regular basis. Some are going to get numbers on them and we are going to use them as a count down to Thanksgiving.

We are already planning our advent calendar this year too. We have been collecting TP rolls. I am going to take some of the halloween candy, put two pieces in each roll (cause I have two kids) and wrap it with a string through them.... In the end I will have a bunch of candy filled packages on a string. Then everyday the kids get to open a package after lunch.
