So what do you do with the kids when the countdown to Christmas is on and the kids are jittery and hyper from being too much inside and when you think you might just go crazy if you hear one more. “MOOOOMMMMMYYYY (insert name) is hitting/touching/bugging/looking at me”?
Why,you keep them busy.
First you ….
String Popcorn
Bake Sugar Cookies for Santa
Make a Gingerbread House
and then you clean, clean, clean and then clean some more.
I have to say it has worked well for me this week and more than once I’ve been thankful that we didn’t get to these projects earlier. As soon as the rowdiness or fighting starts up, I whipped out another activity. Of course, it’s the 24th and now I am all out of fun stuff to do (worn out is more like it) but we’re heading off to my parents today so I’ll leave it up to their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins to entertain them.
What Christmas projects has your family been working on?
