Here are the new year DIY countdown bags ideas!

1. Collect about 6 paper bags. Can be either the recycled bags or newly bought bags. (color doesn’t matter)
2. Label each New Year’s Eve countdown bag with an hour leading up to 00:00.
3. After marking each bag, remember to fill them with something interesting!
4. Every hour until midnight your kid(s) can open one New Year’s Eve countdown bag, enjoy and celebrate with what’s inside!  

Sounds fun, doesn’t it?!?
