3 months until Christmas!

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you all that Christmas is just a short 3 MONTHS AWAY!!!!

(I wonder how many people I just sent into panic mode...)

In honor of that statement I wanted to share a little Christmas craft with you.

A countdown to Christmas!  Yay!

My son and I made this last Christmas, but when we moved (just a short 2 1/2 weeks ago), it got thrown away.  It's ok though, luckily, this is a very cheap and easy craft to make, so we'll probably be making it again this year!

* Since we made this before I had my blog, I don't have a precise step-by-step tutorial, but again it's really easy, and you can just make it your own.

Supplies you'll need

scissors

glue

construction paper

poster board
24 cotton balls

First, I typed up the poem and printed it onto the construction paper (yes, the construction paper will work in the printer), I then cut the poster board in half length-wise.

I next cut out Santa's face, hat, etc. out of construction paper.  To add a little 'decor' to it I cut out some snowflakes, and let my son cut out some as well.

 I also stapled a little Ziplock bag to the bottom corner and filled it with 24 cotton balls.
Starting December 1 put one cotton ball on each night.

Here is my son putting on the first cotton ball before bed.  We would just put a small amount of glue on the cotton ball to make them stick.

Christmas Eve!  The last cotton ball!

In case you're having a hard time reading the poem, it says;

'Santa's beard is very bare, on his chin there is no hair.  So each day add one puff so white, and when they're all on he'll come that night.
