Christmas Memory-Making Paper Chain Activity Advent Calendar
/
Do you remember the paper chain advent calendars that we used to make as kids to countdown the days until Christmas? Well, this Memory-Making Activity Advent Calendar was inspired by that concept, but with a really special twist!
Consider this a modern version of the vintage classic, with the paper chain links representing magical memories to be created with your kids throughout the holiday season.
All you need to create this advent calendar is the Memory-Making Paper Chain Activity Advent Calendar Printable Kit (available in my JenTbyDesign Etsy shop here) and some tape. Oh, and of course, lots of Christmas cheer! ;)
25 Christmas season activity links are included for the calendar, as well as 6 pretty patterned paper links...all hand-drawn by me…so you won’t find them anywhere else!
Use all 25 of the activity links in your chain or pick and choose your favorites...whatever works best for you. The paper chain is completely customizable to fit your schedule and lifestyle!

~ Bake Cookies

December is such a busy time of year, so build your chain based on your availability.
Is an activity a day too much for you? No problem!
Simply refer to your family calendar when assembling your paper chain to coordinate activity dates, then use the simple patterned links for days that you’d like to keep activity-free.
Do you have multiple kiddos? Print a chain for each of them so they can each experience the magic of tearing off a link every day!
Wanna know what’s really cool? Once you purchase the Advent Calendar Kit, just save the files to your computer and you are able to use them over and over again each year to make magical memories with your family!
I would be so very honored if you’d consider incorporating this paper chain advent calendar into your holiday traditions. It was a true labor of love and would mean the world to me to help you create some happy memories for your families!
Be sure to take lots of pics to capture all of the special moments, and be sure to tag me on Facebook or Instagram so I can see!
Happy Holiday and lots of love ~ Jen ❤︎
