Christmas Activities for Kids
We’ll be spending a lot of time at home this December, which isn’t unlike the rest of this year BUT I do think it’s a great time to get a little more festive with our activities. To help my own outlook as we countdown to the holidays and have fun with the kids, I have a list of doable Christmas activities—including easy recipes to make together and fun craft projects. TIP: Don’t worry, none of these projects are all that involved! I am 100% realistic when it comes to making things with little kids! Download the printable calendar below.
Christmas Crafts for Kids
This list includes some of my very favorite easy Christmas Crafts for Kids. They’re perfect to do together in the days leading up to Christmas and are appropriate for toddlers and preschoolers who love to be hands on. You don’t need anything special for these projects and you probably have the majority in your house already!
Christmas Activities for Preschoolers
As I know with my four year old, preschoolers are getting to be more aware of time and traditions, so it’s a fun age to start new family traditions like these activities. We look forward to using these ideas to fill our Advent calendar and doing one a day in the days leading up to Christmas. TIP: I don’t actually have an activity to do on Christmas day since I assume the kids will be playing with their presents but you can of course repeat any that you particularly enjoyed.
