15 Advent Christmas Calendars For Kids

Each of these Advent calendars has been meticulously hand-selected by our dedicated team, who share a passion for curating the finest and most delightful holiday experiences. As we sifted through countless options, we couldn’t help but be captivated by the sheer enchantment that these calendars bring to the festive season

These Advent calendars aren’t just delightful; they’re a brilliant concept for those who love to kickstart the holiday festivities with early Christmas presents. It’s a unique and joyous way to extend the spirit of Christmas over an entire month, making each day leading up to the big celebration feel like a special occasion.

The beauty of these calendars lies not only in the excitement of unwrapping a small surprise each day but also in the thoughtfulness of the gesture. By gifting these calendars, you’re not just giving presents; you’re gifting a month-long experience filled with anticipation, joy, and the warmth of the holiday season.

I personally hate all the prep work for Christmas for just one day, this is a fun way to make Christmas truly the holiday season and to spread out all the Christmas fun.

Learning about Hanukkah is important for people of all faiths as a reminder that December isn’t just about Christmas and that their are many other important holidays that happen during this time. Hanukkah unit studies can give you ideas for incorporating the holiday into your holiday studies that happen in December, or to use at home for learning about people of different faiths.

Homeschool Superfreak has a lot of basic ideas for how to build a Hanukkah unit study, as well as FAQs about what Hanukkah is and why it is celebrated. This list is a good stargint point but doesn’t include all the details you’ll need. For example it says you can play the dreidel game but doesn’t explain how to do that or why it’s important. (If you need that information, this post from Mama Smiles is a good source.)

Teachers Pay Teachers has lots of great lesson plans and activities if you’re willing to pay a little bit to get some good content. Two I really like are this Hanukkah PowerPoint presentation from Shelia Melton, which provides a good overview of traditions, food and the history of Hanukkah; and a virtual field trip to Jerusalem from MagiCore, which includes lots of videos showing the city and activities like playing dreidel, drawing a menorah and making latkes. It’s a Google Drive folder and also includes writing activities and more for kids in second to fifth grade.

Kids Activities Blog has some simple printables with facts about Hanukkah and things kids can color in like a Star of David, sufganiyots (jelly doughnuts) and a menorah. These are great for learning the basics.

Homeschool Giveaways has a printable ebook about Hanukkah complete with questions kids can answer after they read. This would be a good one for older kids with good reading comprehension.

NurtureStore’s Hanukkah unit study includes a printable mini book, tons of crafts, as well as math and writing activities. I love the dominoes game that’s part of the unit.
