Who LOVES caroling during the holiday season?

We really enjoy singing Christmas carols at home as the music plays, but what we enjoy the most is when children from our neighborhood come to our house and sing.

It is so much fun!

This year, my littles are old enough for us to do caroling from house to house of our own!

I made ten of the most popular Christmas carols and printed them out for us.

And then I thought, ” Why not make this a FREE printable for others to use and enjoy?”

Christmas Pie Crust Cookies

I love to get creative in the kitchen. I’m a throw in a little of this and a smidgen of that type of cook.

When I do have a recipe to go by, I usually veer off course and give it my own spin.

I sew like I cook and bake and usually just make it up as I go along.

Sometimes it turns out great and sometimes it…umm…becomes a learning experience. {wink, wink}

Children will obviously enjoy help decorate your Christmas tree at home, but once it is decorated, they can’t shouldn’t take all the decorations down and redecorate it.

If we let our children re-decorate the tree any time they wanted, it would just end up being a weird-looking tree and maybe have a few broken ornaments to clean up each time.

So why not offer an alternative like this Christmas Tree Decorating Activity with free printable? 

It isn’t breakable. It is reusable. It is fun. And most of all, it is festive and beautiful.

I know that this post doesn’t have free printables, but it has a huge list of ideas for wreaths that you can make with your little one.

I think you will find it very helpful.

Do you like to make seasonal crafts with your children? Do you love creating memories this way? We do in our home!

We made our special terracotta (baked) ornaments for this year and decorated them.

We had so much fun making them and the best part is that this craft is beneficial emotionally and physically for your children.

Handprint Reindeer, Ornaments, and Poem {free printable}

Hand print crafts and activities are favorites of mine!  I love the sweet memories that they remind me of; tiny hands are just so precious.  

 

My kiddos adore hand print activities, too.  They love having a ‘piece of them’ in their artwork.  

 

I think they love the mess that it makes, too ; )

We have been reading a whole lot of Christmas books this month. Why? Because we LOVE Christmas!

Some of Our Favorite Christmas Books

We just love Handprint Snowmen Christmas Ornaments – we’ve made them twice, and I think we’re doing it again this year.

It’s really quite simple, the only thing that you may want to keep an eye out for is the acrylic paint, as it can be hard or impossible to get out of fabric.

Preschool Sensory Activities Christmas Peppermint Bin

Christmas is almost here and courtesy of the early snow in Northern Ontario in FALL, J believes we are in winter.

Under the inspiration of J, I decided to create a few preschool sensory activities for her to celebrate Christmas and to further build her anticipation as well as work on her pencil grasp.

Today I will share with you our Peppermint Christmas Bin that I made for her.
