This is a craft for the kiddies to make as time for Santa draws near, and they ask repeatedly "How many more Days?"
Just copy this onto a piece of card stock or on if you only have paper, just copy it and glue it to the back of a cereal box, and cut it out. Let the kids do the coloring and then just tie the treats on with string or yarn. Each child could make his very own Count Down to Santa.

Each day you take a ring off, it helps the kids count down til Christmas.
If you don't have a Christmas countdown already, this is a cute little project you can make! The supplies used are easy to get and inexpensive.
To help the kids with counting down till Christmas and wanting to open presents I get small inexpensive gifts for as many days before Christmas as I like. I usually do two weeks. I buy small erasers, pencils, sweets, etc. and wrap each individually.
Use rainbow colored construction paper to make a cute Christmas countdown chain. Hang it in a central spot in your home using a pipe cleaner and have the kids tear off a link everyday until Christmas.
