Instructions

  • Print or draw a stocking template on cardstock and cut it out.
  • Let each child decorate a stocking using crayons, markers, or colored pencils. Encourage patterns, holiday themes, or unique designs.
  • Label each stocking with a number from 1 to 24, marking each day leading up to Christmas.
  • Use a hole punch to make a small hole at the top of each stocking if you plan to hang them with string.
  • Cut a length of twine and stretch it across a bulletin board or wall. Then clip each stocking to the string using clothespins in numbered order.
