Tis the season to be jolly – until the kids get bored!
The weeks running up to Christmas can be full of excitement. Kids love this time of year and it is the ideal time to get creative, whilst spending quality time with your kids. It doesn’t have to be expensive though. There are lots of things you can do with kids at home for very little cost.
Here are some Christmas activity ideas to get you going.
Making
1) Make some paper chains to decorate your house. Cut up A4 paper or any cheap wrapping paper into strips about 15cm long and 2cm wide. Stick the ends together to make a chain.
2) Make your own wrapping paper. Cut out some templates for the kids to draw around from an old cereal box. Templates can include: christmas tree, bauble, holly, snowman, star etc. Kids can mix and match the templates to create and colour in their own patterns and pictures on plain paper.
3) Make some christmas tree decorations. Make some templates as the activity above. Kids can draw around them on cardboard or empty cereal packaging. Cut out the decorations and then punch a hole in the top. The decorations can be coloured or you can use cotton wool, sequins, glitter etc to decorate with. Then put some string through the hole.
4) Christmas jigsaws. Cut up some Christmas cards into different shapes and sizes. Now try and put them back together.
5) Make a Christmas headband for everyone to wear for Christmas Dinner. Cut out strips of coloured cardboard or paper and decorate.
Baking
2) Christmas biscuits (to put on your Christmas tree)
