The days leading up to Christmas can be the busiest – and the best! Because they generate lasting holiday memories.
The more you involve kids in the last minute preparations and events, the more memorable will be the outcomes.
That’s why this list is all about hands-on fun to engage both young and old.
This is a roundup of Christmas countdown activities includes awesome ideas from some of my blogger friends. You’ll find an activity for each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas Day. There’s also a link to a Made for Kids roundup with more Christmas fun.
Family Activities for a Christmas Countdown
This roundup of holiday activities was inspired by the traditional Christmas carol ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’. The lyrics in each of the verses is replaced with an activity you can do with the kids.
Sing along to the tune of the ’12 Days of Christmas’ as you go through the list.
