Christmas

It’s day 22 of our countdown! Try this Christmas Addition printable from TLS Books. I really like how it is pictures and is a very simple introduction to counting/addition.

Day 20 of our Activity Advent Calendar is Christmas Pattern Block Mats from PreKinders. This is such a cool resource that she offers.  If you don’t have the blocks, you can make some out of craft foam. This is the only picture I got of B putting this tree together. Before he was finished, he decided it would …

Today’s countdown activity is the Whose Present? Maze printable from Activity Village.  I’m so excited to try this with B. For younger children who might not be ready for this maze yet, trace the paths in different colors ahead of time. Then have them follow a color with their finger.

  Day 17 of the Activity Advent Calendar is Ornament Sorting and Tree Mat from PreKinders. Sort the ornaments by color or by design.

This How to Draw a Snowman Printable is a fun way to learn how to draw a snowman and to practice following step by step directions.

This is our second year decorating ice cream cone trees and it is one of our favorite activities. Turn a cone upside down and cover it in frosting. Decorate it with candy and sprinkles and then eat or display. These trees would be a cute addition to a gingerbread house.

Today we are going to play the Christmas Tree Board Game from Activity Village. We are going to play the simple way and just use dice and the game board (shown above), but they also have game cards to go along with it that make this a fun game for older children as well.

Today on Day 10 of our Activity Advent Calendar we are going to be counting and matching with this Nutcracker Counting and Number Match printable from PreKinders.  

Print this Candy Cane Matching/Memory from Activity Village and you are ready to join us in Day 9 of our Activity Advent Calendar. You can match the candy canes or play Memory with them. (To introduce your child to Memory, start with 4 cards, 2 pair).

This I Can Color printable is a fun way to work on colors or sight words. B colored his this morning and then wanted to cut it and staple it into a book.
