Book Advent Calendar

Let’s be honest, 25 books is expensive! Don’t worry, I have options for you to choose from to create this fun DIY project.

Because my daughter is very fond of nature and animals, I chose books that were about the Christmas season, trees, birds, the weather and of course Santa too! I also mixed in classics with her favorite authors. I’ll admit, I wasn’t familiar with some of the books, but the reviews swayed my mind!

I want to make it clear that these books are not gifts, but rather part of the countdown to Christmas! I chose simple brown wrapping paper—also called butcher-block paper—which I bought at the Dollar Tree. I added wooden number tags for some fun math play and used an old-fashioned wax stamper to seal the tags to the wrapping paper.

I chose The Night Before Christmas for the 24th book. I thought it might be a nice tradition to start now that she’s three and can sit through a long storybook!
