Holiday Excitement – what to do with all that energy
This time of year is so magical! Houses are decorated with beautiful lights, some of those are synced to Christmas music. Children of all ages wait each day for the Elf on Shelf to watch how good they are being and eventually report back to the Big Man. While all of this excitement is going on, the adults need to prepare for trips to extended family, meals for their guests and getting the house clean. Pair those two items together and it can be a bit eventful in your house. Below are some ideas to redirect the children’s energy.
- countdown to Christmas
- Track Santa’s journey
- play games in Santa’s Village
- history of Santa
- create a cartoon of Santa’s journey
- create a cartoon of your child’s belief in Santa Clause
- kids can create a cartoon for each person’s place setting about their family’s holiday fun
- kids can create them from nature items
- use name cards for locations that over night guests will sleep
