CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS
Check out this great list below!
- Make Christmas Cookies: Gather up the supplies and make batches of things like classic sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies and of course our favorite thumbprint cookies with the best chocolate kisses.
- Make Christmas Decorations: There are tons of kids crafts and ornaments to make during the holidays, but we love the classics like stringing popcorn, cranberries and of course paper chains to go on the tree or in your home.
- Go Caroling: Pick out a few of your favorite holiday songs, grab the iPod and head out into your neighborhood to sing some great carols to your friends, family and neighbors.
- Visit A Local Nursing Home: The holidays can be a very lonely time for the elderly. Many live in nursing homes or assisted living situations without family or many friends nearby. A visit from a child who is willing to listen to their stories, perhaps work a puzzle with them or share some candy is a real blessing.
- Decorate Christmas Tree: Spend a day having fun stringing lights, adding bows, those crafts and decorations they made and more. Check out our sister site, OurFamilyWorld, for more tree decorating ideas.
- Volunteer To Feed Homeless: There are often many people in your local community who need a good meal in the cold months. Locate a shelter you feel safe taking your children to, and volunteer to feed the homeless. Do it on a weekend, on the holiday itself or make a pact to do this once a month as a family.
- Shop For The Needy In The Community: The Salvation Army sets up angel trees each year that are to provide clothing, gift and food to the needy in the community. Take your kids to pick an angel or two to shop for this year.

What are your favorite Christmas activities for kids to do as a family?
I just love that Rudolph ornament! So stinkin’ cute! I have a my niece for visits quite a bit over the holidays and she looks forward to doing projects with me. Just realized that I should have everything for the cupcake ornament as well. These would be great for her to give as gifts to the family!
Oh such great ideas! I love the nursing home idea!!! There is alot of elderly that does not have family close by, and this would be so wonderful for them! I will have to call ours and see if they want visitors to come.
Wonderful ideas! We love to bake gingerbread men cookies every year!
Love these idea, will be using lots of them.
We really like the reindeer ornament, so cute and a family keepsake to be used year after year!
