1) Activity Advent Calendar – Instead of buying an advent calendar, local mum Jo Whittaker has come up with this fantastic idea for an activity advent calendar – each day of advent she has an idea for a festive activity to do with her family, such as driving around to see Christmas lights, making a Christmas card, or looking at the garden centre Christmas displays. You can read all 24 ideas in the article here.
2) Christmas Colouring! We all like a bit of festive colouring in our house. I’ve popped some free colouring downloads to make cards, sheets and gift tags on Mumbler, find them all on the article here.
3) Christmas Crafts! My daughter loves crafting and by the middle of December we usually have a line-up of festive characters made from toilet roll tubes and pine cones on our windowsill. I’ve put loads of Christmas Craft ideas to do at home on Mumbler, read the article here.
4) Christmas Party Games!! There are lots of low/no cost games you can play at home, find some ideas on the article here.
5) Christmas Films! Now it’s getting dark early in an evening, we love sitting down to a film and it is definitely time to start on the Christmas film list! I’ve suggested 24 films for the 24 days of Christmas, read it here.
Also to help you through December as some Elf on the Shelf ideas (all low/no cost!) Find those here.
I hope these ideas help keep your little ones entertained and your costs down this Christmas
