Christmas is coming and it’s time to take a tour of nice ideas to prepare for the celebration. It’s time to think about the decorations, cards, trees and gift ideas. This is the time of the year for children and activities to do together. Christmas with the children immediately became a Christmas special! Here are some ideas for activities for children at Christmas:
Garland of popcorn
Cook popcorn and, once cooled, have them colored by the children, with a wire and a large plastic needle, they can insert them in succession to form a garland
Christmas plate
Provide the children a sheet of paper with the same size of a plate, where they can draw a design with Christmas theme, and it can be laminated and used as a plate cover for breakfast.
Plate of Christmas
Provide the children a large sheet of green and red paper. Ask to rip the red paper into small pieces, and glue on the green, cover with plastic, and it can be used as a placemat.
Father Christmas in 3D
Ask children to draw a face on a card. Cut and paste the face picture on a triangle drawn in red hat of Santa Claus. Give the ball made of a white cotton for hat, a mustache and beard of Santa Claus. And by cutting out the outline of the holes for eyes and mouth, it can be a mask
Collage: What I want for Christmas
Fold cardboard in half to form a card, with pencil drawing, make lines to separate different areas horizontally. Ask the children to cut and paste the images of a gift they want on each card area
Decorate the Christmas tree
Sewing Supplies
1) clear plastic bottles of mineral water,
2) acyl colors in the jar
3) golden pen,
4) golden thread,
5) colored ribbons or strips of crepe paper,
6) hooks to stick on the Christmas tree.
Cut the bottom of the bottle and decorate them, put something cute and colorfull in it. Tie around with thin gold wire, make it like a small bucket, attach a decorative ribbon and put a hook on the Christmas tree. Good luck and have fun!
Santa Cone
Create the Santas cone-shaped, very simple for the age of children (2-3 years), but really nice.
Needed:
* White Cardstock
* Scissors
* Glue stick
* Super glue or White glue
* Red crayon
* Wiggle eyes
* Cotton wool
Cut a white paper into a form of cone (half cylinder), let the children paint with the red crayon on one side of the paper, then fold and apply a layer of glue stick on the side of the cylinder to make a cone. On the tip of the cone we put a ball of super glue or white glue. Make for the kids a ball of cotton wool that glued to the tip of the cone, which is almost taking the form of Santa Claus. Attach the wiggle eyes and ask the kids to decorate it like Santa.
Children’s Parties
* Create an original greeting cards and invitations for birthday or to arrange for group games and invite other children to spend together and play together during the various holidays of the year.
* Play to decorate the Christmas tree for the Christmas party. Write a letter to Santa Claus to receive the gift and your favorite game. Not only for Christmas, but also for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, carnival party, and all parties for children.
Advent Calendar.
A fun and very decorative idea to count the days until Christmas, making them all special. It’s a way to create a festive atmosphere with the children in our homes and maybe we can take advantage of a “pedagogy” of Christmas. Select the usual ideas nicer and even original. In the shops if they are many ready-made, but doing it with your own hands is another matter and is a gesture of education as well as fun.
Why would you let a 2-3 year old use hot glue?
Well, sorry for my English here
I didn’t mean it’s “hot” glue as hot that can burn the skin.
This “hot” means a glue that can stick tightly to the ball of cotton wool. Since it is wool, we can not use the regular glue for paper.
Thanks much for your comment here, I’ll change the word to avoid misunderstanding
