I decided to do a blog to put ideas about games, crafts, and other activities out there to help you all get fun ideas to do with your little ones. If you're in need of something to do read my posts and post comments to let me know if you had fun with the activity. Thank all of you for reading my blog!

More Christmas Ideas

Here are a few more fun Christmas activities to enjoy with your kids. We didn't get to these at day camp but they are still just as fun.
Gingerbread Door Hanger:
Materials:

  • Safety Scissors
  • Brown Construction paper
  • gingerbread stencils (optional)
  • Pencils
  • Washable Crayola Markers
  • Red, Green, Brown, or White yarn or string
  • A single hole puncher
Instructions:

  1. Either draw or trace a few gingerbread people onto brown construction paper.
  2. Cut out the gingerbread people
  3. Hole punch to top of each gingerbread person
  4. Use markers to decorate the people with faces and other accessories 
  5. Weave the string or yarn in and out of the hole punches, connecting the people
  6. Tie off the string at the ends
  7. Hang it over a doorway or window
Christmas Guess Who:
Materials: 
  • Index cards of strips of paper
  • Tape
  • something to write with
Instructions:
  1. Come up with Christmas themed names and/or objects. Santa Clause, ornament, Rudolph, snow, north pole, etc.
  2. Write each idea on a separate index card or strip of paper.
  3. Without showing the players the cards, tape a card to each player's back with the side with the writing facing out.
  4. Each player has to figure out what name or object is on their back by asking the other players, who know what the card says, yes or no questions about it... Is it a person? Is it a boy? Is it a girl? Does it live at the north pole? etc.
  5. The first person to guess their's right wins. 
For extra Christmas spirit play Christmas music in the background while enjoying these activities and the other activities described in my previous post about Christmas Day Camp! 
Have A Very Merry Christmas Everyone!
