I have such a fun activity to share with you today~ A New Year’s Eve Countdown Story with Activities included.

I have been writing and creating this New Year’s Eve Countdown Story for a while and wish I would have gotten it out to you sooner! But, hopefully it’ll still some bring joy and excitement to your family and your New Year’s Eve celebration.
New Year’s Eve Countdown Story with Activities
Let me tell you about this New Year’s Eve Countdown Story. This cute story follows four woodland forest animals, a raccoon, a rabbit, an owl and a fox on a New Year’s Eve adventure. These four friends live in Starwood Forest. Each hour they receive a new clue that guides them to an activity to accomplish from 6 pm to midnight of the new year.
Each hour you will read one section of the story with your children, and then do the activity along with the forest animals. The activities are easy to do with the whole family and with kids of all ages. It is such an engaging way to celebrate!

The New Year’s Countdown Activities:
6pm: Make a New Year hat. (printable template included)
7pm: Share and write your favorite memories from this year. (printable template included)
8pm: Bake cookies. (recipe included)
9pm: Have a dance party
10pm: Write your goals for the new year. (printable template included)
11pm: Go on a memory treasure hunt.
12am: Celebrate with fireworks and cheers!
The activities in this New Year Countdown story include crafts, music, dancing, baking, writing goals, and collecting memories! This is such a fun way to ring in the new year as a family. Make it extra fun by putting each activity into a balloon to pop, one for each hour.
