East Advent Crafts for Kids

I have been looking for some great advent crafts for kids and thought about making my own advent calendar, but before I could do so my husband gave my children a Dairy Milk version. 

Instead I thought my children and I could make a countdown clock featuring Santa Claus himself. This clock has dates though as opposed to hours of the day.

I think it is a great advent craft for children which helps them learn numbers. My 5 year old loves knowing what date we are on and looks at the clock everyday! 

It also teaches kids number order too. 

One of the great Santa crafts for kids that should be done before December 1st. 

Why not try some of my fun Santa coloring pages too or learn how to draw Santa Claus before the big day.
