Do your children enjoy counting down the days to upcoming holidays, birthdays or other meaningful events and activities? In my home and storage I have several various advent countdowns including Christmas, Valentines day, St. Patrick's day, Summer and Thanksgiving. The Novotny kids enjoy counting down to fun with daily surprises from notes to trinkets. It is not always easy to store one more countdown decoration so when I saw this DIY Countdown Calendar from Visual Heart I thought what a great idea you could create this to be generic, match your home decor and use it year round to countdown upcoming fun and celebrations. She made it as her Christmas Advent countdown but with a few color modifications you could make it usable year round.
Some fun celebrations to countdown to:
Thanksgiving
Christmas
Valentines Day
St. Patricks Day
Easter
End of the school year - Summer
Back to School
Birthdays

hi, just wanted to say thanks for sharing my post with your readers! I love your idea of making it for other holidays or special occasions too. Oh and look out for updated photos around Christmas time when i've got the gifts hanging from the pegs :)
