I’m sure that you know that old Andy Williams song… “It’s the most wonderful time, of the year. With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer. It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” I consider myself a summer girl, but Christmas really is my very favorite time of the year. I have a whole new appreciation for Christmas and am seeing it through brand new eyes now that I’m a mom.
My mom used to make Christmas pretty magical for my sister and I, and I try to do the same for my kids. I’m not going to lie, it can be difficult not getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season. It’s important though to try to slow down and enjoy the little things that Christmas brings.
Today I decided to pull together 27 of my favorite christmas activities for kids. They are all projects that your kids can get involved in whether it’s crafting ornaments, creating Christmas decor for the home or getting involved in some Christmas creative play!
I hope you enjoy them, that they inspire you and that it makes it just a little bit easier for you to spend some quality time with your kids this Christmas.
