I haven't posted for awhile, even though we've done activities. It is New Year's Eve, and I wanted to do something special with the Little Man. I found several posts about countdown bags, but Spoonful had the cutest ones. I created my own countdown activities, incorporating some of the print-outs from Spoonful. Hope the Little Man enjoys them and can stay up that late.
Here is my list for the countdown bags (clock templates from Spoonful):
5:00 Have a great dinner
6:00 Make a party hat and glasses (template from Spoonful)
7:00 Make special cookies
8:00 Make a noise maker (Adventures of J-Man and MillerBug) Tip: My husband helped me staple through the craft stick, too, so it would be sturdier. Also, stickers are great for kids who find it difficult to draw.
9:00 Decorate the house
10:00 Watch a fun movie
11:00 Make a wish list (template from Spoonful) or All About Me poster (see below)
12:00 Make a "toast" and Celebrate (pop bubble wrap)

There were many templates out there to review the year, but I created my own in Word. I inserted pictures into mine, too. I was actually surprised at some of his responses.
