It’s officially the week before Christmas weekend, and all hands are probably full. With everyone decorating for Christmas, or trying to to finalize in the ultimate Christmas recipe, spirits are truly high. So, what fun activities should you consider for your little ones this Christmas season? Here’s some festive tips for you.
Create some crafts together
Kids love helping, and if your young ones want to spend more time indoors, allow them to. To keep them engaged, help them make their own crafts, like stars for decorating the house, or Christmas tree. Some crafts ideas are pretty manageable for children above 3 years. With some paper, cardboard, and glue, you’re good to go! Try some of the crafts here. Remember to keep your young ones off the scissors. You want zero accidents in the season.
Make baking fun this Christmas
Whipping up something with your entire family is magical during Christmas season. Well, not mentioning how messy it can possibly be. If you’re pro making memories over messes, get your kids to help in the kitchen. Better yet, guide them on preparing some gingerbread cookies and houses. The decorating part is always a winner, making your little ones enjoy the piping bag squeezes. Remember, you can compromise by being more patient than usual, because cooking with children can be nerve wracking.
