Celebrate Advent outdoors with this free printable Advent Calendar. Suitable for all ages, including adults, this calendar is a perfect way to pause & connect with nature as we journey towards Christmas. Ideal to print & share as a giveaway, or to add to the pages of your magazine or newsletter.
As the days get shorter & the temperatures start to drop it can be less tempting to head outdoors, but nature offers us so much to discover this season. The benefits of spending time outdoors are well documented, even a few minutes has a positive impact on our physical & mental well-being, boosting our immunity, lifting our mood & reducing stress. Sadly children are spending less time outdoors than their parents or grandparents did, so any opportunity for them to head outside is a bonus.
The simple activities in this calendar are designed as an invitation for children/adults to discover the natural world on their doorstep for just a few minutes every day. Each activity costs nothing, needs no prep, & you can choose when to explore each one, simply tick off the ones you've completed on the sheet.
Making connections with nature is valuable for any age group. When we observe the natural world a little more closely we become more mindful, noticing the smaller details or changes occurring. We become more connected, more appreciative of all it offers, & hopefully more eager to care for it now & in the future.
So why not don your wellie boots, waterproof & scarf & join us as we celebrate Advent outdoors. Let's invite everyone to take a moment to unwind & appreciate all that this season has to offer.
