Each December I put together an Advent Calendar of activities for the girls to do. Hopefully it helps them to enjoy the holiday and spirit of the season. Some activities are bigger than others but we do something each day. We have cut out snowflakes, done secret service, watched Christmas movies, and played Christmas games. One activity that the girls really enjoyed was making homemade snow globes. They were very easy to make and they turnd out very cute.
I found the figures at the Dollar store and besides needing the jars (which I had), some glitter, and some hot glue that was all we needed.
Another popular activity was homemade Hot Chocolate with all the fixings. We had whipped cream, peppermint ice cream, hazelnut cookies, sprinkles, marshmallows, etc. This was super yummy!
We also made reindeer and snowman pancakes - thanks to Pinterest for the reindeer idea! The girls were really creative and gobbled them up very quickly after they made them.
Its getting harder and harder to come up with activity ideas that the girls will be interested in as they get older. But it's a fun tradition to have and hopefully they will remember these moments as they get older.
