## **How to use a countdown calendar**

1. Enter what you are counting down to and the date. The calendar starts from today and runs up to the big day, for up to a year.
2. Print it. Each box shows the number of days to go, so crossing off today shows the new number right away.
3. For kids, counting "sleeps" is easier than days: the number on each box is how many sleeps are left after that night.

## **Make yours in the calendar builder**

The builder can mark the big day and anything leading up to it (packing day, final fitting, last day at work) as colored events, then export the month as a PDF. It can't print day counts in the boxes; use the printable countdown above for that.

## **Countdown Calendar FAQ**

### **Does the countdown include today?**

Each box shows the number of days from that date until the big day, so today shows the full count and the big day itself shows the event name.

### **How long can a countdown be?**

Up to a year. Longer countdowns are better tracked by month; each month of a long countdown prints on its own grid.
