Create an Advent Calendar 🎁
Make an advent calendar together by making small compartments of paper or boxes that you fill with small gifts or activities. Each day a child can open a compartment for a surprise.

Salt dough Christmas pendants ☃️
Salt dough is always fun with kids! Mix 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of salt, and 1 cup of water to make the dough. Have the kids roll out the dough and cut out Christmas shapes, such as stars, angels, and snowmen. Bake them in the oven, and once they are cool, the kids can paint them and hang them on the tree.
Christmas tree made of paper handprints 🌲
Use green colored paper to make handprints of the children. Cut them out and glue them in the shape of a Christmas tree on a large sheet of paper. Decorate the tree with glitter, pom poms and stickers. Let your children make their own topper and you have a super cute Christmas tree!
