If this mess free Christmas tree activity reminds you of our mess free autumn tree craft that’s because I’ve updated the idea for the festive season! It’s a really popular and simple idea that is both fun to do (and great if you’re having a stressful day) and it’s really easy to include lots of simple learning ideas for kids with this activity too.

I am super excited to be sharing all these brilliant winter activities for toddlers with you! It’s taken me ages to write up as I found so many great ideas but I couldn’t bear to leave any out – the good news for you though is that you get the most amazing list and loads of activities for toddlers with ideas to keep them busy all winter long!

We’ve been trying out a few Christmas tree crafts this week and this bubble wrap Christmas craft was probably my daughters favourite! It’s possibly more process arts than strictly a craft as it’s all about the actual painting but it does look like a Christmas tree at the end still so I guess it’s a bit of a combination. Our idea was to decorate our trees with ‘Christmas lights’ or baubles which I think kind of worked? Either way it was good fun and was a great Christmas craft to do after preschool.

With Thanksgiving and Christmas on the horizon I thought it might be nice to share some gratitude activities for kids. I know that I try and remind my kids how much they have to be thankful for (and remind myself too!) but sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in things and forget, plus anything that encourages gratitude has got to be a good thing, right?!
Some of these gratitude activities for kids are specific for Thanksgiving with turkey crafts and pumpkin pies while other thankfulness activities are ones that you could use all year round.
If you are getting ready for Thanksgiving then make sure you also check out our Thanksgiving crafts for kids at the end of this post!

We are big fans of paper bag crafts for kids here but I have to admit that this princess craft was my four year olds idea! We’d spent the morning making things (house like a bomb site as you can imagine) when she decided she wanted a princess craft of her own.
I think I’ll have to get her creations ideas written down more often as this princess is super sweet and great for practising scissor skills.
What’s more once they were dry they were excellent for playing with too – what’s not to love?!
