I just love an advent calendar to countdown to Halloween. If you do to here are here are some advent calendars to inspire you. My boys LOVE ours and it’s such a fun family activity and tradition in our home!
LeAnne submitted her countdown to trick or treat calendar.
Tanya submitted this easy to make Halloween Countdown advent.
This is Amy’s version and I really like all the ribbons she used.
I was also inspired by the Pottery Barn’s version of their advent last year and made you a step-by-step tutorial on how you can your own Halloween advent. Print out the tutorial for free on Executive Homemaker.
I wanted mine skinnier to fit a specific wall, but you can make it wider if you’d like. Please forgive the picture, the quality isn’t the best.
I made one on my site — thought people might like to see it:

I wonder how many people saw this in the Pottery barn catalog like two years ago – I also made my own advent countdown calendar – the only problem is that my 4yr old son wants to move the big spider marking the day all day long – Ugh I shouldn’t use this until the week before halloween. love your blog.
My kids love countdowns. They are in their teens and they will still build little paper chains to countdown something they are too excited about.
