How can I countdown to a vacation with my child?

Vacation Countdown

Young children, who don't have a developed sense of time, can find it very difficult to understand how long they must wait before you leave on a vacation. To make it easier for your child to visualize the time, make a paper chain with one chain for each day until the trip. Each night, remove one link and count how many days are left.
