Free Printable Blank Countdown
Making a countdown to enjoy as a family is super simple with this free printable!
May is a really busy month in this house! We have two birthdays and an anniversary to celebrate. This means we do a lot of counting down! We are always counting down to something.
To help my little one grasp the concept of a countdown, I created a blank countdown printable for us to use. Right now, we are counting down the days until his birthday. The best part about using a blank printable is that we can use it over and over again with the help of a dry erase marker!
Once his birthday comes and go, we will then start counting down until my oldest’s birthday! After that? The end of school! The countdown will help me prepare them for their summer break and also remind me how much time I have left to myself!

For the best results, print out your blank printable on white cardstock. Then add to an 8×10 frame you probably have laying around the house (or larger frame with an 8×10 opening). You will have to trim the sides down to fit.
Place the printable in your frame and you can easily write and re-write your countdown with a dry erase marker. I have found that the thinner dry erase markers work best! The glass in the frame acts like a dry-erase board so you can wipe off whenever you are ready to switch your countdown.
That is such a great idea. I am totally using this. Thanks!
This is super cute- thanks for the printable! I love the countdowns! 🙂
What acute idea fro a countdown. I like this.
I love this concept. I would use this to countdown the days until I go on vacation.
Great idea. Thanks for the printable! I totally love your- “Don’t forget to be awesome” sign!
They say that one of the key to happiness is not just the event but also the anticipation leading up to it. What a great way to do this.

Will have to pin this for later 🙂
What a cute idea. My kids are constantly asking me how many days till their birthdays, makes me crazy! This would help!
This is such a cute printable. I could see me using this for a vacation count down. Or even last day of school.
This is a great idea. I will have to think about how I would use this.
This is wonderful. My older kid is getting a better perception of time lately. Spring and summer are big in this house because of Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and three birthdays within a family of four! So it’s nice to always be counting down to something.
What a fantastic idea and cute printable.
Great idea! I’m a May baby as well and will be using mine as a countdown to my birthday!
frames are a great way to make a dry erase feature. We recently made one for a teachers gift
Thanks for the awesome printable. I was just thinking this morning I needed a countdown because my youngest daughter is having the hardest time with keeping up with how many more days till school is out!!
I would like to add some of these Printables to make a Gallery Wall in my home office … I will definitely check the website.
Thanks so much for sharing this printable. This is great for giving kids a sense of days and months!
I love the concept of this! It really is a help for kiddos to understand counting and how calendars (days) work! We are always counting down to the next big event at our house too and it makes me crazy to always have to re-count on the calendar every other day to let them know how many days until….LOL
Such a cute idea! Thanks for the free printable!
Aww! I love this idea! My girls would totally be into this!
That is a really great idea, I’m going to do it for my daughter’s graduation countdown. Thank you.
I love count downs! They get me excited about upcoming events!

This is fun and simple and just what I need for my 3 year old. She is ALWAYS asking when this when that. I’m so doing this TODAY!! Thanks for sharing.
Love this idea! It’s so smart to use the frame and marker that you can just wipe off.
Such a cute printable! I love this, because it helps the never ending “Is it my birthday yet??? How many days now?” Now they can count down how many more “sleeps” before the big day!
What a great idea! I am definitely trying this.
Perfect! My son is totally into counting down to everything these days. I hear “How many days until…” every five minutes!
