It’s the exhilarating time of the year! There’s a general excitement everywhere and the surroundings are lightened and decorated. It’s a good time to be with your children this holiday season, with the festive spirit galore. Christmas fun includes decorating the house with lights, setting up a Christmas tree, baking cookies, making gingerbread houses, having family get-togethers, going caroling, attending parties, participating in gift exchanges, watching holiday movies, going ice skating, and more.

List of Christmas Activities For Kids

Here are some fun-filled Christmas activities which you will not only enjoy with them, but will also keep them engaged in the year-end celebrations.

Unwrap the block party

Get some blocks wrapped in newspaper/ used wrapping papers. Children have to pretend the wrapped blocks are the gifts which they have to unwrap. Empty cereal boxes can also be used.

DIY Cards

Ask children to make handmade cards. They can make beautiful drawings and then decorate them by using glitters, stickers, fallen leaves, etc. Don’t forget to spread a newspaper on the floor in the working area to avoid the mess.

Play physical & digital games

Keep your kids entertained with integrated learning from wonderLearn. You can play physical games like Memory Game, Tetris & Sea Animals with your children. Not only this, keep yourself amused with their digital content.

Santa is here

Indulge in some pretend play by someone dressing as Santa Claus. Children always get thrilled to see a Santa and getting few candies from an ‘actual’ Santa would be fun!

Twinkle- twinkle X-mas Star

Let the children get creative by asking them to make stars. Use carboard boxes/ thick papers and cut the shapes of the stars. Provide these ‘stars’ to them which they have to decorate themselves. 

Drive around to see the Christmas lights

Kids are always excited to see the enchanting decorations, so it would be a good idea to just drive around in the neighborhood to see the X-mas lights. Who knows, you might see a Santa too!

Indulge in some Christmas baking

With the help of your little chefs, you can bake some banana bread, X-mas tree shaped cake, Oreo cookie Santa, or puddings. Use Christmas- special cookie cutters to make baking more exciting! Ask the kids to whisk the batter and decorate their bakes.

Write letters to Santa

Encourage your children to write letters to Santa. They can write their wishes or anecdotes. If the child is too small to write, ask her/him to draw!
