How to Make A Holiday Candy Kiss Advent Calendar

Perfect for the kid with a sweet tooth, making a holiday candy kiss advent calendar is a tasty way to count down the days until Christmas. Unwrap a holiday candy kiss every day until Christmas. Once all the candy kisses have been eaten, kids will know Santa Claus has come! Merry Christmas.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 24 Holiday-Wrapped Candy Kisses
• 1 Gold - or Silver - Wrapped Candy Kiss
• Black Marker

1. With a felt tip marker, number the red and green candy kiss wrappers one through 24. For example: Mark a red candy kiss with the number one. Mark a green candy kiss with the number two and so on.

2. Mark the gold or silver candy kiss 25.

3. Line the numbered candy kisses up on a mantle or other open tabletop in order from one to 25.

4. Each day, have your preschooler choose the candy kiss with the number corresponding to the calendar day, and let him/her enjoy the sweet treat.

5. Repeat Step 4 every day until December 25.

Tips & Warnings

• Turn your holiday Candy Kiss advent calendar into a learning exercise for preschoolers. Arrange the candy kisses in random order so it's more challenging for your preschooler to choose the number corresponding to the calendar day. Having your preschooler "search" for the day's number will reinforce number recognition skills.
