With ourDisney World Planningcoming up I wanted to share a couple fun ways to countdown to Disney.
Our family loves trading pins.
We buy a lot on ebay forcheapand then trade them at Disney.
I rolled tape to attach the chart to a square cork board I got inexpensively at Target.
I added some fun Mickey heads.
You could add stickers or die cuts if you prefer.
Each morning the kids pick out a new pin to add to our countdown.
The highest number visible is the number of days until Disney World!
We choose to start at 100 days so help my Kindergartner Minnie learn to count to 100.
Every day she counts from 1 to 100.
Each day more and more numbers are covered up and she has to remember more and more numbers.
By day 60 she had them down pat!
Note:I wouldnt start higher than 100 or the pins wouldnt have enough room in the box.
To make just fill up as many balloons as days you are counting down.
Using a sharpie carefully draw on a Mickey shaped head.
Write the numbers inside the head.
I used tape to attach them to the wall and it came off without leaving a trace.
With three kiddos in our family they took turns who got to pop the balloon.
Note: just be mindful of popped balloon pieces as they pose a choking hazard to children.
All sharp objects used to pop balloons should be used by careful adult supervision.
Ive youve got some time this would be adorable!
This is perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary aged kids.
