Gingerbread House Building
I found some mini gingerbread house shapes to use. Of course, the classic Gingerbread house kits are also great!
Kids seem to prefer using smaller icing sugar tubes better but they liked the 'taste' of the bigger icing tubes haha!
Baking Pepparkakor cookies
Rolling dough and making shapes. They already love to do this with playdoh too! So they have lots of practice ;)
This way, you can have some snacks afterwards too!
Painting Ornaments or Art for Gifts
Painting is one of our favorite quiet time indoor activities. It's nice to have several brushes and colors, blank paper or other paper to color. My older kid likes to save the art to give away as gifts ❤
We have also enjoyed Painting Wooden Ornaments (from Flying Tiger Copenhagen) for the Christmas tree. These are small and easy to hold for tiny fingers.
Reading Christmas Books
Getting into the Christmas spirit is easy with a book! With books, kids stop to ask questions about what's going on in the photos. The toddler loves to point to everything on the page and have us tell them what it is.
One Christmas book we enjoy was gifted to us a couple of years ago now, "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
Advent Calendars!
You can get Advent Calendars with crafts or little toys instead of candy.
And of course, listening to Christmas songs while you are having fun doing the Christmas activity.
Enjoy the countdown to the holidays and remember don't forget your snacks (especially your Christmas themed snacks this season!)
