Christmas Activities for Kids
Christmas activities for young children work best when they channel the season's excitement into making things: ornaments to color, gift tags to decorate, countdown pages to complete. These double as decorations and grandparent gifts — art with a job to do.
The ideas
Ornament coloring & cutting
Color, cut and hang — coloring plus scissor practice, and the tree fills with the child's own work.
Decorate-your-own gift tags
Print sheets of blank tags for kids to color; every family gift gets a personal touch.
Christmas countdown pages
One small page per December day beats chocolate calendars for longevity — and December focus.
Santa's-workshop mazes
Help the elf find the sleigh: seasonal mazes for the school-holiday stretch.
The Christmas-Eve calm-down
The most overexcited night of the year meets its match: a quiet coloring page before bed.
