  1. We love making paper chains in our house too! They're such great fun (and provide great fine motor skill opportunities).
    Would you mind sharing this with my readers too?

  3. My parents and I used to make a paper chain every year on Thanksgiving to count down to Christmas, and last year we started the same tradition with our son. What a neat idea to incorporate the different advent activities into it...we have ours in a separate advent calendar. Thanks for sharing at Shine On Fridays!
