Christmas Activities...

Here we go with day 2 of Christmas activities!!! This one I put together last night for my own bunch to discover this morning with their Elf on the Shelf, named Buddy.

I searched "fun Christmas facts" and jokes on the internet last night and read through some of them and then picked ten that I liked. The cornier the jokes and facts the better! I put together a ten ring paper chain that I made from scrapbook paper. On the inside of each ring I wrote a fun Christmas fact or a joke for them to read each day as we count down the last 10 days before Christmas! It must have been a hit because they all fought over who got to tear the piece of chain off and read it. Or I guess they may have been fighting just to fight.. Anything goes at this house!

For younger kids who aren't that interested in crazy jokes and fun facts, you can go to DLTK's Printable Crafts for Kids. Print off a different coloring sheet for your child to color for the last 10 days until Christmas. This can also be done as a coloring book, adding a new page to a binder ring each morning. You may consider making duplicate books (if you have that kind of time) to take in the car as you travel over the holidays. Throw in some crayons and you are all set!

Enjoy!
