Out Of Quarantine Countdown

Being in quarantine is no fun, especially for kids. When we were in it, everyday my daughter would ask how many more days until we were out. Make it easier on yourself! Create a Quarantine Countdown to help them understand when they are out!

The quarantine requirement is different for everyone. I’ve included up to 12 days in the countdown. Print only what you need. I have also included blank strips. Use them to add more days or you can have your child write out the numbers to make them more involved with the creating process.

Directions

1.) Print templates on white cardstock or white printer paper. Paper choice depends on thickness/durability you want. Choose between two options. One option has color ink (red), the other option is only black/white.

2.) Have your child/children color the templates (optional).

3.) Cut out the circle on template #1. Cut out the strips of paper on the light gray line on templates #2-3.

4.) To make the chain: Start with strip 1, staple side 2 on top of side 1.

Then, with the 2 strip, slip it through 1 and staple. Repeat until done.

5.) Hang up & let the countdown begin!
