Carry on reading to find out how to make this season a memorable one…
1. Visit a Winter Wonderland
As the festive season approaches, cities around the world transform their public spaces into plenty of Winter Wonderlands.
It’s a perfect day out, as you can find everything from rides to family-friendly performances, whilst indulging in some festive treats.
There really is something for everyone – not only will your children have a great time, but so will the adults – so which Winter Wonderland will you be visiting with your little ones this year?
2. Decorations galore
With Christmas coming around, it’s time to get all of the decorations out of the loft – and what better time to involve the children in making your house covered in Christmas joy?
They can be supervised to hang ornaments on the Christmas tree and they can even create their own decorations for a personal touch.
Getting the kids involved is a great way to give them some independence, whilst letting them unleash their creativity and feel accomplished after seeing their finished work.
3. Bake festive treats
Fill your house with some festive scents with the element of baking and cooking and your kids will love to get involved!
Let them choose from a range of simple Christmas treats, which could include gingerbread people, cookies, or cupcakes.
They can help with measuring the ingredients and mixing the batter for everything you’re creating, and then they can decorate everything to fit the festive theme.
Your children’s creativity will flourish, but what makes this even better is that you can taste their festive creations too!
4. Create Christmas cards and gifts
To let your children’s creativity flow even further, they can become artists whilst creating Christmas cards and personalised gifts.
Once provided with art supplies, they can create cards full of stickers, ribbons, colours and more to hand deliver to family and friends.
And with the gifts, they can make personalised art with handprints or footprints, or create their very own ornaments to place on the Christmas tree.
They can see their beautiful creations throughout the season and put smiles on people’s faces after handing them personalised gifts!
5. Festive movie night
To finish a day of fun, why not gather together with your children to watch some of the best Christmas movies?
They can help to gather the snacks and bring any of their own Christmas creations to the movie night – with a mug of hot chocolate to finish it off.
You can choose from a range of family-friendly movies, like Elf or Arthur Christmas, to set the festivities off right and wind down in the best way possible.
