Countdown Paper Chains For Celebrations

Paper chains.  I made them when I was younger.  It was time to bring the idea back for C.  We actually did a countdown to Christmas this past December.  We created this chain a while ago for his birthday.

C practiced cutting some paper we had around. (Consider using art your child has created, cut and staple).  Then we stapled together.

I asked C to find a good spot to hang his chain and the dresser won.  He thought it was pretty funny too.  If you didn't already notice, it's like a face.

Paper chains are simple to create and fun for kids.  They tear off a link each day until (insert event here).

They're great for any celebration...Christmas, birthdays, vacations, summer, end of school, return of a service member, and more.

Do you have a unique use or event for your paper chain?
