Yummy Christmas themed Treats
How gorgeous are these reindeer cookies from Hellenic Playgroup did? This activity is very easy (and yummy!) and the kids will absolutely love decorating their own cookies.
Or you could even decorate gingerbread men like Coastal City Playgroup did!
Santa and Snow Men Craft
How cute are these little snowmen and Santa’s? This activity is very simple and perfect for little ones! Give them the materials and let them decorate as they like.
Sensory Activity Stations
Sensory play is always a hit with little ones and we these Christmas themed sensory play stations look like heaps of fun! Different material options could include rice, DIY snow, shredded coconut or sand mixed in with various Christmas items such as pom poms, decorations, beads etc. to give it an Xmas twist!
