I love the idea of doing an Advent Calendar as a simple and easy way to keep the focus on the important things during this Christmas season. Today I am sharing 5 quick and easy Advent Calendar ideas with you.
I don't know about you, but I have never actually made an Advent calendar before. Now that my daughter is getting older, it is definitely something I want to start during Christmas with her. I also need quick and easy; as moms we are so busy I think many of us would prefer something quick and easy, but fun and memorable.
5 Easy Advent Calendar Activities for Kids
1. How to make a simply Advent Calendar from The Pelsers
I love anything that incorporates good fine motor skills in an activity! This would be a great one to have the kids help you out with, using the clothes pins to pin the numbers on the string!
2. Christmas Paper Chain from Imperfect Homemaker
Paper chains are always a big hit for kids to make! This is a super cute idea for an Advent paper chain calendar!
3. The Jesse Tree Devotional & Advent Calendar ideas from Blessed Beyond a Doubt
I had never heard of a Jesse tree until this year! This is a great little ebook devotional for your kids and she gives some ideas for activities at the end too!
4. Printable Advent Activities Calendar from Hip Homeschool Moms.
This is a super simply Advent Calendar printable for you! All the works is done, you just have to print and cut it out! She also gives some ideas on how to compile and use it.
5. DIY Simple Advent Calendar from Creative with Kids
Another great and simple advent calendar using clothes pins! She even includes the printables she used to make them with!
I hope these 5 Advent Calendar ideas give you some simply and creative ways to make your Advent calendars with your kids this year.
Now I just have to figure out which one I am going to make. 🙂

Love these ideas. My kids are out of the making crafts stage, but I still love it. I’m looking forward to sharing this post on Strength2thrive, a ministry for military women and wives. I know there are many moms who will enjoy this. I have liked your page and look forward to more good ideas. Blessings this Christmas.
