25+ Birthday Countdown Ideas for Kids | Birthday Countdown Surprise Ideas

For my twins' 6th birthday, I planned a 24-day birthday countdown. The idea was to give them one thing each day - a craft, a game, an activity, a thing, an edible treat, or an experience, and repeat. I wrote rhyming notes for each day and put the notes in the little drawers of the advent calendar shadow box that I turned into their birthday countdown shadow box. Each day my kids had NO clue what they would get because I planned and prepared everything when they slept, and they received a new surprise each day. They loved their birthday countdown so much, and bring it up in our conversations so many times, that I can tell it was one of the best decisions I made this year to make not just their birthday but their entire month memorable. In this post I'm sharing what we did for their birthday countdown.

Gratitude Scavenger Hunt, Happiness and Growth Mindset Printables, Self-Esteem Journal Prompts

Ever since March 2020, from the time Covid-19 spread extensively, kids moved to remote learning, staying indoors and less socialization started getting frustrating, we started feeling a sense of negativity around us. For that reason, I created these positivity worksheets for my kids to help build positive self-esteem, reflect on feelings of happiness, and practice gratitude.
