Advent Calendar and Year Wheel Project for the Nursery

What you need

Step by step

  1. Fill the advent boot calendar with small surprises or activity cards
  2. Hang the boots up visibly in the group room
  3. Stamp the date together every morning with the wooden stamp
  4. Keep using the counting board all year for weekdays and seasons
  5. Let the year wheel continue with the counting board after the advent season

Safety first

  • Choose age-appropriate small fillings for the boots, no swallowable small parts for under-3s
  • Stamp ink is washable, but still avoid contact with eyes and mouth
  • Fix the hanging of the boots securely and child-safely

Variations

  • Use the counting board year-round as a weekly calendar in the morning circle, independent of advent
  • Get a second boot calendar set for several groups so each has its own ritual

Our tips

  • Institutions can order on invoice, handy for the recurring advent-season equipment every year
  • The counting board is a good way to introduce children to concepts of time throughout the year

Frequently asked questions

Can we reuse the boots for several years?

Yes, the boots are designed for multi-year use, only the fillings need to be renewed each year.

Does the counting board also work outside advent?

Yes, it is designed as a year-round year-wheel calendar and can be used all year in the morning circle.
