Bring a little wonder to your child’s December with this Nutcracker-inspired, Montessori-aligned Advent Calendar printable. This calendar follows the familiar ballet version of the story, introducing one character at a time as your child moves through Advent. Each day reveals a beautifully hand-drawn character and a simple story strip that guides you through the Nutcracker tale, slowly and sweetly.
✨ What’s Included
Everything is delivered as a printable PDF for easy at-home setup:
- 24 hand-illustrated Nutcracker characters (drawn in a soft, child-friendly style)
- A little ornament to hang on Christmas Day
- 25 story strips: One short line of the Nutcracker story each day
- 25 mini envelopes: Made to store the folded story strips and designed to be cut and folded without glue
- A winter backdrop: To display the characters as the story unfolds
- Simple preparation notes: So you can print and set up with ease
✨ How It Works
Each day, your child opens a small paper envelope, reads (or listens to) a story strip and takes out and arranges the day’s matching character. As the days go on, the whole ballet comes to life - one character at a time!
This slow countdown creates a calm, Montessori-aligned ritual, encouraging:
- gentle sequencing
- rich vocabulary
- connection and storytelling
- independence and pride
- a meaningful, December rhythm
Perfect for Montessori homes, homeschoolers, and calm Christmas celebrations
