Christmas Activities that will Make Memories {and After School Link Up}

By thisreadingmama Leave a Comment

Christmas is inching closer and time to build those Christmas memories with your kids is here! Last week, at the After School Link Up, there were lots of fun, Christmas activities shared. I’d love to share a few with you that caught my eye.

 

Help your kids create a fun Christmas marble run. Buggy and Buddy has a great tutorial!

Have an indoor snowball fight. {I bet you could integrate this activity with reading a book about snow or a fun snow science experiment, too!} Share by Mothers Madness

 

 

Make you own Christmas cards and stencils. What and brilliant idea from J Daniel 4’s Mom!

Lemon Lime Adventures shows how easy it is to make your own snow globes…with Lego bricks!

Making gingerbread houses is a favorite of my kids each year. I love the simplicity of Creekside Learning’s milk carton house!
