Counting Down to Christmas

To help us keep our anticipation of Christmas in check we created a linking chain to countdown to the special day. 

As we made the chain we focused on patterning and using our small motor skills to fold and glue the links. 

To add in more math skills, I cut out numbered circles for the girls to label the links with. They were able to order numbers 1-14 but needed help with the rest through 25.
