Some Fun Things You Can Do With Your Children During The Christmas Holidays

My grandchildren love slime and they love it even more when they make it with mommy. 

2020 is a very special year filled with lots of love and hope. There is so much we can do with our children spending quality time with them making things laughing and even drinking hot cocoa while crafting.

I see only Light. Only God.

Here are a couple of ideas to do with your children during the Christmas Holidays! Enjoy! 

Making Christmas Slime


This is a video on some really pretty Christmas slime ideas. I love the colors! My favorites are the green. It looks like a Christmas tree. The blue. It looks like a winter scene. The red and white candy cane slime.
Thank you to Karina Garcia. You can check out her YouTube channel for other great ideas.


Home made wrapping paper





 This is a fun craft I did with my grandchildren.
It's super easy and requires hardly any money.
I saved paper bags I got from the grocery stores.
Used white, green, and red paint.
I just let them put their hands on paint then put their imprint on the paper.
I love home made and handcrafted.
This is what they used to wrap mommy and daddy's presents.
Fun. Messy kind of. Super easy.
They LOVED it!



Make a gingerbread house







My grandbabies love their sweets so making a gingerbread house was fun and the anticipation of eating it afterwards was just as fun.
In today's world we live in baking is time consuming so if you don't have the time you can buy gingerbread house kits.
This one I just so happened to win at our church Christmas party.
Here you can see my grandbabies digging in! Especially the candy LOL!

I hope this helps to inspire you with ideas for things that you can do with your children during the Christmas Holiday Season!

Christmas Sugar Cookies

Another one of my all time favorite Christmas cookies is sugar cookies. Here again a simple splattering of Christmas color sprinkles to make it look really cheerful. The good thing about decorating Christmas sugar cookies like this is the children can get in the action and have loads of fun! For the recipe just click on the link under the photo of these scrumptious sugar cookies!



Following are some photos of Christmas Sugar Cookies all decorated up!






I'll adding more to this later :)






Snowman Pretzel Sticks

These are just too cute and yummy to eat too!  Children will love to dip this in white chocolate with adult supervision of course. It's called Sweet & Salty Snowmen and I found this at Taste of Home. Click the link below the photo for the recipe and instructions.


Christmas Peanut Butter Cookies

I really love the fancy Christmas cookies but my favorites are the simple ones like the photo before. I found this photo on Ken Pierpont's website. I remember, long ago, when I used to bake all the time, putting those criss crosses on the cookie with a fork. I used to make my cookies from scratch, none of this modern cookie mix in a kit stuff!

I Love the way, to make it festive, red and green sprinkles are used so we'll get the basic yumminess of a peanut butter cookie while it looks so Christmasy! There wasn't a recipe on Ken Pierpont's website so I got one on Food.com.

We have loads of peanut butter so I thought I'd put it to good use and go back to the good 'ole days and bake some batches of homemade, from scratch, peanut butter cookies.
