Halloween Countdown Chain
You’ll love my Halloween Countdown Chain SVG file if you’ve ever been in this situation!
Mom, is it Halloween today? Can I wear my costume? Can I go trick-or-treating today? How many days until I can wear my costume? I just want candy. Mom, Mom, MOM! I decided I want to be something else instead.
1 hour later: Mom, is Halloween today?…
I have had this conversation so many times (today)! It makes me want to pull my hair out!
Here is an age-old solution that I remember my mom and fun teachers making for me when I was little! It is a countdown chain! Everyone loves to rip a loop off the bottom and get just a little closer to something fun! When my kids ask me questions about when something is, I ask them how many loops are left! They get to practice counting and I get to clean in peace (for like 3 seconds)!
I wanted to make my Halloween chain a little special, so I added some bat wings and cut it out with my Silhouette Cameo 3 (the Cameo 4 is coming out and I can hardly wait)!
Here is a video and the template is on my Etsy shop, so you can cut some on your Silhouette or cut them out by hand. You get a Pinterest Mom of the Year award if you cut them out by hand!
