Big Brother Countdown Calendar Printable | New Baby Sibling Prep Kit | Toddler Gift Instant Download

Preparing your toddler for a new baby?

The Big Brother Countdown is a 9-page printable kit that gives your son 14 days of gentle, playful preparation — and gives you a plan for the weeks leading up to baby's arrival.

A little structure goes a long way. Instead of waiting and hoping your toddler adjusts, this kit builds familiarity and connection one small activity at a time: drawing a picture for baby's room, practicing gentle hands, helping sort tiny socks. Simple things. The kind that count.

WHAT'S INSIDE:
- Parent guide with tips on how to use the kit and what to expect
- 14-day countdown calendar with one daily activity per day (checkbox format)
- Daily activities designed around play, not pressure
- "What to Say When..." scripts for common sibling situations — tantrums, jealousy, hospital questions
- "First Week Home" guide to help the whole family settle in
- Frequently Asked Questions page
- Big Brother Certificate (brother-themed) to celebrate completing the countdown

HOW IT WORKS:
1. Download and print at home
2. Start roughly 14 days before your due date
3. Do one activity together each day
4. Celebrate with the Big Brother Certificate when complete

Skip days, repeat favorites, switch the order — whatever fits your family. The point is connection, not completion.
