Several of you weren't sure what the "countdown box" is…so, here is a picture! The little drawers pull out and you put a treat in each drawer for the birthday person to open for 24 days before their big day! If you wanted, you can make one side for a birthday and the turn all the drawers around and cover the other sides for a different occasion (i.e. Christmas). I made one using Christmas paper for my grandkids (like an Advent calendar) and then filled the drawers with treats for them…really helped them on learning their numbers!
