A few years ago, my mother in law introduced the kdis to the Santa Beard Countdown to Christmas. She supplies them with everything: the printable, cotton balls, and a glue stick.
Just like clockwork, the Santa Beard was with her on Thanksgiving. And the boys got excited all over again! They hung them up on the refrigerator and have been counting down the days until they can start their Santa Beard.

that is one of the cutest things i have ever seen. we just do the lame old green & red paper chain, haha! okay, kidding lame for me, not the boys 🙂
Thats cute! I have never seen that idea before.
Love it! I need one of these for my guy.
Very cute!
What an awesome idea and what a totally excited little face!
We are doing the same project! I’ve opted to let 3 or 4 days go by before we put the cotton balls on. That seems to appease C’s need to add multiple pieces of the beard in one sitting. Plus, I don’t feel bad if I forget to do the project one day!
It is cute things like this that make me wish my kids were still little.
I love this idea – that Santa is so cute, and I love how you add something each day rather than take it away!
This is so cute! I’m not sure my kids wouldn’t cry to put them all on though! LOL I love it!
How fun is this. Too bad my kids are all teenagers now, so there is no cute activities going on in our house.
Love this idea! So cute!
Oh I love the simplicity of this! Great idea 🙂
What a cute craft idea. It isn’t difficult nor does it require expensive supplies, which makes it even nicer.
