What a cute idea. My kids love counting down the days until Christmas. We’ve had lots of different kinds of Advent calendars, candles where we burn one marked section every day, etc. but we’ve never done a chain. I think I’ll try it this year! Thanks for the example.
Another simple hands-on Advent activity we’ve done for very little ones is to have figures of Mary and Joseph on a shelf, console or table-top. Count out 24 pebbles and have them in a bowl or basket. Let your small child add one stepping stone for Mary and Joseph’s path each day as they make their way to their destination (which can be a stable, or as simple as a gold star placed on the other side of the table.)

I’ve been trying to come up with Advent ideas for our two year old. These are great ideas. I want to do something simple but engaging. We’ve got a crazy schedule that changes all the time so it’s hard to plan activities, but I’m down right determined to come up with something to share the spirit of the season with her.

Great ideas. I used socks last year. http://blog.canadianparents.com/sarahnb/2008/12/
I saved some Halloween treats to put in each sock.
