It's AMAZING how simple a thing like making paper chains entertains and brings happiness to a child's life!!
On day #4 of our advent calendar we made christmas chains. Kali was the expert and wiz since she had practice last year in kindergarten, and Meg was not too far behind. Owen surprised us by doing quite well at his chain . . . with exception to pulling two feet of tape out every time he needed to stick one link together! After it was finished we took the final chain to be hung from the ceiling in the girls' bedroom {which was just about as exciting as making the chain itself!}
I wasn't sure how this activity would pan out, but after Meg took out the picture from the calendar and showed Kali what it was, I knew from Kali's reaction that this one was an EXCELLENT choice!
"Wow! THANKS Mom!!!!!!"

K, that is so cool! That looks like one LONG chain though. You know there are only 21 days until Christmas, right?
How fun. I think I will be copying all your activities/advent idea for next year. Love it! You'll have to give me a list of all the fun things you guys are doing...
Awesome! I am going to go make chains right now with the boys! :)
Hey, we made paper chains yesterday too! Ours only had 14 links though (counting down to Alaska!). I love the picture.

You kids are all chained up!! You have chained my heart and I love you so much and miss you each a lot! I bet your bedroom looks pretty. Did your dad tell you about the worm he had all over his bedroom ceiling and wall he got from school? Hugs and Kisses, Gramma Smed
