Santa Bubblegum Christmas Countdown Instructions
I don’t know of any child who doesn’t love a bubblegum machine whether it’s in a store or at home, so I went on the lookout for a Santa shaped bubblegum machine and I found them at Carnival Source for $3.85 each. They ship quickly and are easy to use.
I purchased red and green gumballs here, but you can find gumballs anywhere. You will need 25 gumballs per machine.
Now, you will just need to print out the tags and attach them with ribbon.
Now add the gumballs to the Santa gumball machine and instruct the kids to only take one gumball a day. They will soon see the gumballs getting fewer and fewer and closer to the big day.
We would love for you to pin this for others to see.
Here are some other fun Christmas kid’s fun.
