FREE Christmas Countdown Printables — Homeschool Share

December mornings don’t need a candy calendar to feel special—just crayons, a fridge magnet, and a simple Advent habit you’ll actually keep. Homeschool Share shares four free one-page Christmas countdown printables on one landing: a Coloring Advent Calendar, a Drawing Countdown, a Fun Countdown, and a Kindness Countdown. Pick the sheet that fits your family (or print two for siblings) and mark the days from early December through Christmas Eve without buying a chocolate Advent you’ll finish by week two.

(Honest volume: four 1-page PDFs—4 pages across files, not one mega pack. Print the option(s) you’ll use.)

Homeschool Share frames these as non-candy Advent / Christmas countdown options—coloring, drawing, family fun activities, or kindness prompts—so you can choose the tradition that matches your December rhythm.

What’s included

Per Homeschool Share’s Christmas Countdown landing and the verified 1-page PDFs:

  1. Advent Calendar Coloring Page (1 page) — Christmas Coloring Countdown with day boxes (through Christmas Eve) for your child to color each day; name / age / year lines at the top
  2. Christmas Drawing Countdown (1 page) — numbered blank spaces so your student can draw a different holiday item each day
  3. Christmas Fun Countdown (1 page) — pre-filled family-fun prompts (examples on the sheet: read Luke 2, make paper snowflakes, bake a holiday treat, look at Christmas lights, write a letter to Santa, make hot cocoa, Christmas Eve service, and similar December activities)
  4. Christmas Kindness Countdown (1 page) — kindness / service prompts (examples on the sheet: random act of kindness, donate clothes or toys, help a neighbor, bake cookies for someone, volunteer ideas, collect mittens/scarves/hats). Publisher notes you can edit kindness boxes on the landing if you want different fillers

Age band: Family / elementary · Advent / Christmas traditions. Print one sheet for the fridge, or let siblings each pick a style.

Who it’s for

Best for frugal Advent mornings—families who want a visible December countdown without candy pressure, plus a gentle faith-friendly or kindness option when that fits your home. Ideal as a light companion next to meatier Christmas learning packs: one page on the fridge while the deeper printables stay in the school basket.

Already stacking Christmas freebies on FHD? Pair these HSS countdown sheets with our FREE Christmas Learning Printables — ABCdee, FREE Christmas Activities Printables (9 Pages) — ABCdee, FREE Christmas Activity Pack Printables (Homeschool Creations), FREE Nativity Pocket Chart Calendar Printables, FREE Twelve Days of Christmas Lapbook — Homeschool Share (literature sibling from the same publisher), or FREE Christmas Printables Pack (3 Dinosaurs)—more December table time, not a title rematch. Liked Homeschool Share’s Thanksgiving literature set? See FREE Cranberry Thanksgiving Printables.

Want more countdown options from older FHD posts (different publishers—not this HSS set)? See Free Printable Christmas Countdown Calendar (Kori at Home) or Free Christmas Countdown Printables (Homeschool Preschool letter/Santa angle)—soft extras only; do not confuse those CTAs with Homeschool Share’s four sheets.

How to use it this Advent

  1. Pick one style: Coloring for littles who love crayons; Drawing for creative sketchers; Fun for activity-filled Decembers; Kindness when you want service front-and-center.
  2. Fridge or binder: Print on letter paper; hang with a magnet or keep in a morning basket. Cardstock helps if siblings will handle it daily.
  3. December 1 start (or your Advent start): Color, draw, or check off one box each day through Christmas Eve.
  4. Mix siblings: Two kids, two styles—one colors while the other tracks kindness.
  5. Faith-friendly soft add: Fun Countdown includes a “Read Luke 2” box; Kindness leans service—use what fits without forcing a preachy tone.
  6. Keep it light: These are one-page companions—pair with a fuller Christmas pack only if you want deeper schoolwork.

What you’ll need

  • Printer + letter paper (cardstock optional for fridge durability)
  • Crayons, markers, or colored pencils (Coloring / Drawing)
  • Optional: magnet or tape for fridge display; pencil for checking Fun / Kindness boxes
  • No candy calendar required—and no paid Advent unit needed
  • Mild size tip: Fun and Kindness PDFs land around ~1.1 MB each; Coloring / Drawing are lighter—prefer Wi‑Fi if you’re on a slow hotspot

More Christmas shapes playdough mats from Homeschool Share

Want a preschool shapes station alongside the Advent countdown sheets on this post? Homeschool Share also shares free Christmas Shapes Playdough Mats (14 pages—color mats on pages 3–8 and black-and-white on pages 9–14). Kids roll and flatten playdough to fill Christmas-themed shape cards—chimney rectangle, gift square, tree triangle, snowman circle, star topper, and more (twelve shapes total). Laminate or slip into a page protector for reuse. This is a different freebie from the four one-page countdown PDFs above—grab it from their playdough mats landing (or the direct PDF below). File is about ~2.7 MB—prefer Wi‑Fi if you’re on a tight mobile plan.

Christmas tracing and cutting pages from Homeschool Share

Want a little December fine-motor practice to go with the countdown sheets and playdough mats above? Homeschool Share has two more free preschool sets: gnome tracing pages for pre-writing and color-and-cut pages for scissor skills. Each one is a separate download from its own landing page. Neither is part of the four countdown PDFs.

Holiday Gnomes Tracing Pages (14 pages)

Kids trace lines to help the gnome find his way home, find a holiday tree, decorate the tree, fill the stocking, and find a holiday treat. Inside are six tracing pages in color (pages 3–8) and the same six in black-and-white (pages 9–14). Laminate the color pages or slip them into a dry-erase pocket so you can reuse them, or hand your preschooler a crayon and the black-and-white set. The file is about ~5.1 MB, so Wi‑Fi is easier.

Christmas Cutting Practice Pages (8 pages)

Six color-and-cut pictures: a Christmas tree, Santa, a gingerbread cookie, a bear, a snowman, and a reindeer. Your child picks one, colors it, and cuts along the lines. Don’t worry about perfect edges. Glue the finished picture onto construction paper and you have a homemade Christmas card for Grandma. The file is light, about ~1.3 MB.
