December is busy. There is no denying it. It’s hectic and jam-packed full of family gatherings, late-night wrapping sessions, not to mention school-runs and long work days! But just because it’s busy, doesn’t mean that we don’t want to ensure we are creating a magical month for little ones.
So, we have put together Jolly Festive’s first Young Children Activity Advent Calendar! Filled with 24 activities to take you through advent, this activity advent calendar is the perfect way to add a little festive fun to each day without having to slave away for hours with prep and clean-up.
24 Days of 24 Activities
Quick, Easy & Minimal Prep!
Each activity can be done in minutes and very likely with items that you already have at home too!
Got some leftover candy canes? Perfect –you’ve found a new play doh rolling-pin! What about some extra cardboard boxes? Great –build a gingerbread house! Playing some Christmas tunes? Why not try dancing along –the ideal activity for our Christmas movement cards!
Plus, each activity has some opportunities to work on key skill development, whether that be fine motor skills, gross motor skills or pre-academics such as color sorting & matching! Can we hear you say “win-win”?!?
Christmas Crafts For Toddlers & Young Children
Eight fabulous Christmas crafts for toddlers & young children, including all the printouts you’ll need, completely free of charge!
Do remember though that all activities included in Jolly Festive’s Young Children Activity Advent Calendar require adult supervision. That way the countdown will not only be magical and fun, but safe too!
