A couple of weeks ago my lovely friend Jen asked me if I’d like to be involved in her kid made Christmas card series and of course I said yes and then I remembered two teeny tiny issues. We didn’t have any cards or craft materials. I did panic for a bit but actually this is real life in which sometimes you kids decide that they want to make things and you have to improvise a bit, even though I have a lot of crafting stuff my house is not Hobbycraft and, like most parents, I have to make the most with what we have. This driftwood Christmas tree card came about after a walk that I shared some pictures of on Instagram, filling my pockets with some freebie craft materials.

A Month of Fun Christmas Activities For Kids: Free Printable
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!

Easy Christmas Cards Kids Can Make
A few weeks ago we were challenged to make something using glue and I came up with a really clever faffy idea that I thought would be awesome. And….uhhhh….it was rubbish. I mean it took days to set, it was all clumpy, when it finally dried I didn’t even feel like showing it to the kids. That bad. Thankfully though I have my two little superheros on hand and they are always ready to save the day. “Mummy, can I make a card for my friend” so he did and we did and these simple Christmas cards kind of saved the day for us.
