Ideas for countdown calendars

Count down to a vacation, a birthday, a wedding, the last day of school, a baby's due date, a race or a retirement. For children, a countdown makes waiting easier to understand: one box a day until the day arrives.

Use a shorter countdown of 7 to 14 days for young children, and add a small note or sticker in each box for an advent-style countdown.
