DAY 1: Christmas Countdown Advent Calendar {12 Days of Free Christmas Printables}
Hello, welcome to Day One of the 12 Days of Christmas Printables! I don’t know about you but I’m super excited and what better way to get started than with a Christmas Countdown Advent Calendar?
If you’ve been here for a while, you might remember I made this fun Halloween Countdown Free Printable for my little man to get ready for trick-or-treating. It was such a big hit that I knew he would want to do it again for Christmas.
There are a couple of ways to can use this printable:
The easiest way is to print it out and simply cross off the days.
My favorite way is to laminate it and use double-sided tape to add some peanut butter candies to each day. Then, every day after lunch, he can get his treat and countdown the days until Santa comes.

SUPPLIES I RECOMMEND FOR PRINTING
A PRINTER
If you’re going to be printing in color, I really recommend investing in an HP Instant Ink-compatible printer. The quality of the finished product is amazing! If you don’t need a color printer, I highly recommend a laser printer like the Brother L23 Series. You will save hundreds on ink. You can also get a color laser printer which I would LOVE to have!
PAPER
For everyday printables, planners, and coloring pages for the kiddos I normally use Hammermill Printer Paper, 20 Lb. I love that you can get a small box of 3 reams instead of having to buy one at a time or a whole case of 10.
If I want something a little nicer, I use this laser paper which is incredibly smooth and has very little to no ghosting on the other side. This is perfect if you like to use pens/markers that are prone to bleeding through to the other side.
For printing on A5 paper, I use this Blank 6-Hole Punched A5 Paper. You can also get it without the holes but it’s $6-7 more. Which I think is odd because it’s usually the other way around and you have to pay more for the hole punching.
If you're printing a binder cover that is fade-resistant and lasts a long time, I would recommend the best paper using Epson Presentation paper. It's heavy like cardstock (48 lb), is great when laminated, and is made to last for decades.
I would love to see how you’re using your printables. Share them with #KraftyPlannerPrintables
