Grinch

Color a Grinch, add a green candy cane and the

poem above

Countdown to Christmas

Paste this poem on a star:
Every evening after godnights are said
Take off one ring and jump into bed
When only the star is left to shine
Then you will know it is Christmas time!


Add red and green paper loops to equal the number of days left until Christmas.
