Kids are always the most excited people about Christmas and these Christmas activities for toddlers are the perfect way to keep them busy and having fun while getting excited about the big day! Just like our huge list of 50+ winter activities for toddlers this post has taken me a little while to write up but there were so many great ideas I couldn’t leave any out!

This easy colour mixing activity for St Patrick’s Day has lots going for it – it’s easy to set up, you can use it as sensory play for younger kids or as a way to teach colours to preschoolers and toddlers or you can look at mark making or letter formation with older kids. Plus it’s mess free – that’s got to be a good thing too!

We’ve shared a lot of crafts for toddlers over the years and these stained glass Christmas lanterns were one that my daughter really enjoyed making although of course you could make this with older kids too. We’ve made these as a simple Christmas craft but you could easily change the colours up and use them as a winter craft or for celebrating the winter solstice or Diwali. It’s a great craft for fine motor skills too and one that makes a lovely kid made decoration to have around the house!

With the summer holidays now upon us I thought it would be a good idea to share some ideas of things to do with your preschooler for free. If you have a preschooler you’ll know how the holidays suddenly mean that your go to places are either closed (parent and child groups, children’s centre) or absolutely rammed full of ‘big kids’ (oh my days have you been to soft play in the holidays? It’s carnage!) Having two kids myself – one preschooler and one school age I’m sure that most of these activities are suitable for older kids too and there’s enough suggestions that you should be able to find a few ideas no matter what the age of your kids or what they are into.
