I know it’s only November but like most parents my planning for Christmas starts way before December kicks in, if it’s not buying presents then it’s working out when we will visit family or what festive food we want to make. Of course the kids get more than a little excited too and once they see the Christmas goods go out in the shops they want to get started on Christmas stuff too!
Today I’m sharing a free printable with you for a month of fun Christmas activities for kids. You can print it off and stick it on your fridge like a little festive bucket list, get your kids to choose what they want to do each day or use it to fill an advent calendar of Christmas activities, either way it should be lots of fun!
I’ve listed all the different activities below along with some links if you need more details or a recipe and if you scroll to the bottom you can find your free printable!
