Countdown to Christmas with books

I had seen this idea on several different websites and thought it was a great way to boost our holiday book library and the boys enjoyed the books and started to memorize the ones that they had opened.



The books were purchased during the year and we already had some that I re-wrapped. The boys would open the new book and we would go through the prior books. Some of their favorites were a Twas the Night before Christmas alternative and Buzz and Woody's White Christmas. I arranged the books in order so the pop-up books were at the end. There is nothing like 4 toddler hands on a pop-up book that you are trying to secure.



It felt so good to see them get excited when it was time to read books as they understood what was going on and were happy to go over the prior ones.






We will definitely be looking to add some new books and continue this tradition as long as the boys will oblige us.
