Advent Calendar Printable Maker

Anything small: a treat, a sticker, a note — or, more and more often, an activity for the day like baking cookies or watching a holiday movie. This maker prints numbered tags for the outside and a card for every day on the inside, so you can use envelopes, paper cups, toilet paper rolls, small boxes or bags you already have.

Large circles are 2.2 in across (12 per page) and large gift tags are 1.6 × 2.2 in. Small circles are 1.5 in across and small gift tags 1.1 × 1.5 in, so all 24 numbers fit on one page. Activity cards are 3.5 × 2.2 in, a little bigger than a business card, eight per page. Print at "Actual size" rather than "Fit to page".

Yes. Each set just fills the text box with one activity per line, and you can type over anything. Line 1 is December 1, line 2 is December 2, and so on. Each line holds up to 70 characters and long ones shrink to fit the card. Leave a line empty to get a blank card with writing lines.

24 days runs December 1 to Christmas Eve, 25 adds Christmas Day. The 12-day option counts down December 13–24, handy if you start late or want a shorter calendar for little kids. Each card is printed with its date.

The "Couples" set has coffee coupons, date ideas and little notes to hand your partner one day at a time. "Self-care" is a solo countdown with small daily habits like a phone-free walk or an early night. "Reading" is 25 book challenges for readers, from one poem before bed to picking your book of the year.

The easiest version: slip each card into a small envelope (at least 3.6 × 2.4 in), stick a number on the front and clip the envelopes to a string with mini clothespins. You can also fold the ends of toilet paper rolls around a card and a treat, or tape paper cups to a board and cover the tops. Gift tags have a punch mark so you can tie them onto bags with ribbon.

Pick the "Coloring" theme for black-and-white numbers and cards. Coloring all 24 numbers together makes a nice first-of-December activity, and it saves ink.
