- Read “The Biggest Kiss” by Joanna Walsh & Judi Abbott
- A very cute story about lots of different kisses!
- I love the illustrations.
- Preschool Journal K Page
- Practice writing Kk and “Kiss”
- Put kiss stickers all over the page
- Or put on red lipstick and kiss the page!
- Memory Match Kiss Game … A fun twist on one of our favorite games. Inspiration here.
- Use dot stickers to put matching labels on the bottom of several Hershey’s kisses. We did matching pairs of all the letters A-K.
- Use the kisses to play a game of memory match
- Kiss Number Line … a simple introduction to adding and subtracting using a number line. Original idea found here
- Have the kids write 1-10 on blank kisses
- Glue in order on a long strip of paper.
- Give simple addition or subtraction problems. Use chocolate kisses to move up and down the number line.
- Chocolate Kiss Drawings … a fun idea we found here
- Use a sturdy white paper plate. I found that a plain paper plate worked much better than the glossy finish.
- Use the tip of a Hershey’s kiss to draw a chocolatey picture.
- Christmas Kiss ABC Game
- Print out the Christmas tree game here.
- You’ll need a big bowl of Hershey’s kisses (at least 26 for each preschooler)
- Use a set of A-Z letter tiles, or magnet letters or letter cards.
- Have the kids choose a letter and say it’s name.
- Cover the matching letter on their Christmas tree with a kiss.
- Continue until all the letters are covered and you have a glimmering, chocolately Christmas tree!
- Christmas Kiss Countdown … a tradition around here
- Use the same Christmas tree game and kisses from above.
- Hot glue the kisses to the tree. I put a dot of hot glue in each circle and the kids carefully put a chocolate kiss on the glue.
- Hang up your Christmas countdown! My kids get to choose one kiss each day after their morning jobs are done.
- See another version we’ve done in the past here.
Thank you so much..this is exactly what I have been looking for my kiddo. I am starting the december calendar this week. Question: I noticed that the calendars are organized for last year, which is fine, I can still use them, but will there be current calendars available? Just wondering so I can plan. Thanks a bunch

Hi Jessica, I'm not doing new calendars for this year. I figured everyone could adapt the calendars from last year and add any new activities they like. I may do new ones next year (they're a lot of work!) :) Enjoy your December activities!
