Counting sleeps with little ones
“Sleeps” is the friendliest way to count down for young children: one night in bed, one less sleep. Tonight is one sleep, so the number is always the same as the days left. The big number changes at midnight in your time zone, so every morning it is one smaller.
This page shows one number and one fun fact a day, and nothing else moves unless you switch on the snow. Snow stays off if your device asks for reduced motion.
- Look at the number together at breakfast or bedtime.
- Read the fun fact out loud and talk about it.
- Color one box of the printable chart each night from November 30.
- Press Fullscreen to show it big on a TV or tablet.
For parents and teachers
This page has no ads. The countdown makes no network requests and saves only display settings (such as snow on or off) in your browser. For older children, the days until Christmas page shows weeks, weekends and school days.
