The Holidays are here! Each day comes and goes; some a wonderful time with our kids, others very trying on our last nerve! So how can we be good stewards of the time and children God has given us during winter? Here are a few ideas:
Make a Christmas tree using your child’s handprints—Trace their hand on green paper; layer them on a large sheet of paper in the form of a tree. Each day add an ornament. Before you know it you’ll have a tree decorated for Christmas!
Make a chain out of construction paper links. Each day either add to the chain until Christmas or start with the whole chain and remove one each day.
Make a birthday cake for Jesus. Throw a party on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Or expand on the idea: send out invitations; have children bring a present to donate to an organization; read the Christmas story.
Make your own wrapping paper. Buy a roll of white paper. Let your kids use stamps, stickers, and their handprints to decorate it. just let them have fun. Family is sure to enjoy it!
Make snowflakes. Hang them in their room or kitchen so they can be enjoyed.
Create a manger scene. Your local library may have a die-cut machine you can use to make a barn, etc. Each day add a part to the scene and talk about it.
