Who said Christmas was just for kids?

Father Christmas must be rushed off his feet at the North Pole, finalising gift lists and loading the sleigh for Christmas Day. But while you’re waiting for him to arrive, we have some great ideas for festive fun for you and your little one this Christmas!


Potato printing
 
Your bound to have some potatoes left in the bag that didn’t get used for Christmas dinner, make use of them by carving out fun shapes, dipping them in paint and printing! You could try a Christmas tree, a snowman, a star, a candy cane and anything else you can think of!
 
 
 
Make your own Christmas cards
 
You could use your beautiful potato prints to make unique Christmas cards. Everyone loves the thought and effort that goes into a home-made card and it adds a personal touch – nobody else will have a card like it! Use sequins, stencils, felt tips, paint, stickers to create your masterpiece!
 


Gingerbread men

There is something wonderfully festive about gingerbread men; they’re a perfect snack in between wrapping presents. They are a favourite of children and easy enough to bake, but we all know the best bit is decorating them! Here’s a fun and simple recipe.
 
 
 
DIY Christmas decorations
 
You can buy plain baubles from most arts and crafts shop, cover them in PVA glue and roll it in glitter for a disco bauble! You could thread popcorn and cranberries on a string or opt for a decorative paperchain or sweet-wrapper chain.

And don’t forget to visit Father Christmas to tell him what you want for Christmas before he makes his trip around the world!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
