ABC Count Down
My girlfriend Valerie each summer counts down the days til school with an ABC countdown that she begins 26 days prior to the first day of school and uses an ABC pocket calendar to put her daily activity cards in so her kids can read what they will be doing.
They celebrating with letter of the day activity. Such as
A = Apples so make an apple recipe
B= Bowling so take the kids bowling
C = Cookies and Cribbage.
The daily ideas can be simple or extravagant you can also include in things like Back to School shopping, visit the teacher day etc.
