Hooray for the holidays!<\/h1>\n

The long-awaited summer holidays are here and we can finally enjoy a bit of relaxation, sunshine and family time. You may already have some trips or vacations planned. And if you’ve shared your holiday plans with your little ones, you’re surely faced with the question “when are we going there?” several times a day.<\/p>\n

Younger children don’t realy know what to imagine if they get the information “in two weeks” or “on August 5”, so they ask “when? when? and when?” over and over again. If you are familiar with this situation, and with all your patience you find yourself having enough of those endless questions about the same thing, this article is for you.<\/p>\n

Countdown calendar<\/h2>\n

We have a simple tip for these cases. Inspired by the advent calendar, which helps us to imagine when Santa Claus will arrive, we make a countdown calendar before each such event. The children have fun making it and then every morning they look forward to the fact that the holiday is a little bit closer again. A visual demonstration will help them understand how long they have to wait and they won’t be asking “when?” every half an hour. Although we don’t guarantee that they won’t ask at all :).<\/p>\n

How to do it?<\/h2>\n

The countdown calendar can take different forms, it depends on your creativity and possibilities. We choose a cut-off calendar every year.<\/p>\n

Cut-off calendar<\/h3>\n

It is the most successful with our children and they ask for it themselves every time they know that a significant event is coming up, whether it is a holiday, birthday or Christmas. They will have fun making it and they can do it almost by themselves. You must remember the paper strip chains that we used to make every year at school before Christmas or as a decoration school parties.<\/p>\n
