Craft Time: Today make a Christmas collage. Cut pictures of trees, ornaments, wreaths, and anything else that seems like Christmas to you. Have your kids glue them on construction paper - red or green preferably!Story Time: Let's move into Christmas story mode. Head to the library and check out some books to help get your kids in the holiday mood. (like they need help, right!? lol!)
Music Time: Holiday jam session. Put on the holiday music for some more dancing to Christmas tunes.
Art Time: Print out holiday coloring sheets for your kids from the internet. Better yet, head to the dollar store and pick up a whole coloring book so you have plenty on hand.
Indoor Time: Remember that game they played on Sesame Street - they would sing the song about "one of these things is not like the other?" They would have four objects and one would be different somehow. You can play this game with your kids. Do groupings such as: 3 teddy bears and 1 doll, 3 red blocks and 1 green block, 3 small toys and 1 large toy, 3 round toys and 1 square toy.
Outdoor Time: Pattern play - have your kids do patterns of movement and keep adding to it to see how long they can remember. Example: First you jump. Then you jump and take a step to your right. Then you jump, step to your right, then run forward. Then you jump, step to your right, run forward, then turn around in a circle twice. etc, etc. It's up to your own imagination.
