1. Mini Gingerbread Houses ~ These gingerbread houses are adorable! Made using graham crackers instead of the traditional gingerbread they are easier to build! Perfect to make with your kids this Christmas!
2. Gingerbread Cookie Recipe ~ Decorating gingerbread cookies is a Christmas tradition I’ve always enjoyed, so this year I decided to spice things up by making large gingerbread people who represent my real-life friends and family, and to give each individual their own respective cookie as a Christmas gift.
3. The Mini-Van Express Ticket
~ Ready to start a Christmas tradition that the whole family will
enjoy? I know you’ve all seen The Polar Express, well, this is our own
version of that fun adventure! Each year we hide the “Golden Tickets” in
our kids’ beds. My husband starts the bedtime routine as usual, while I
prepare little bags of popcorn and hot chocolate drinks and place them
in the car, oh and don’t forget to have Christmas music playing in the
car too!
4. Christmas Eve Pajama Pants ~ This is an easy tutorial showing how to make a pair of pajama pants. With this clever pattern idea you could make a pair for the whole family… maybe even in a Christmas theme! My family tradition is to give new pajamas on Christmas Eve. This tutorial is for size infant to 8 years.
5. Curly Toed Stocking {free pattern} ~ You can make a cute Santa stocking to bring holiday cheer to all (well even more if you fill it up with fun treats). This pattern comes in two styles and sizes.
6. Nativity Costumes ~ Make nativity costumes in one size fits most for a recreation of the night Jesus was born.
7. Christmas Eve Luminaries {tradition} ~ Happy Christmas Eve! We just moved to Ohio, and Our new neighborhood invited us to come set up luminaries today throughout the entire neighborhood. It’s a Christmas Eve Tradition they do every year.
8. Mr. Snowman Christmas Morning Brunch ~ Here is a fun way to serve breakfast to your kids this Christmas morning! Using pancakes, bacon and marshmallows you’ll create a Mr. Snowman themed meal! Yummy and festive!
9. Snowmen on a Stick ~ If you don’t have any snow this winter or don’t want to trudge outside in the cold to build one, make these fun snowmen on a stick and let your kids build and decorate them inside where it is nice and warm.
10. Beautiful and Fun Christmas Activity Pages
~ Looking for a festive holiday themed activity printable for your
kids? Here are a few beautifully designed puzzle printables. Great for
the older kids! All you need to do is print!
11. Pin the Nose on the Reindeer ~ Funny Christmas games are a vital part of Christmas Eve celebrations! This Pin the Nose on the Reindeer game is a version of the classic Pin the Tail on the Donkey. The reindeer shapes were cut from card stock and “pinned” to a cork board. If you have smaller children you could tape/glue the shapes to card board and eliminate the usage of thumb tacks.
12. Reindeer Hunt ~ Print these fun free Reindeer Hunt Games cards. Hide the tags around the yard and the kids will love searching for the little reindeer. Scavenger hunts are a great party or holiday activity for children of all ages.
