Made this for the kids to countdown until Daddy comes home :0) I numbered the rings to correspond with the calendar, and help me keep up with which days have been torn off. Each day they get to tear a ring off until the last one is when Daddy is home! I put two of each color because I have twins and this allows each child to tear their own ring. Good idea for deployments, TDYs, business trips, etc. I hope someone else likes it too :0)
