Halloween Craft: Countdown to Halloween!

For weeks now, my five year old has been asking if it is Halloween Day yet.  She is just so excited!  So, every day I have to pull out the calendar and count the days until Halloween with her.  She is going to love this countdown printable.  Tonight, I am going to let her help make it and then she can put it in her room.  I love that there are simple craft/activity suggestions that go with each day.

The best part about this craft is how simple it is.  It only requires 4 things!

Here is what you will need to make this countdown:

-2 sheets of white paper or cardstock

-color printer

-glue

-craft knife

Here is the link to the printable and directions -> Disney Halloween Countdown Printable and Tutorial
