What types of events do you & your families enjoy doing
together over the holidays? I know that with the long break the kids can get
board. Trust me that statement makes me cringe. I really don’t remember being board growing up, but I wasn’t
use to all of the instant gratification/entertainment that our kids seem to be.
I love the idea of bring kids back down to reality and to
appreciate time together that we don’t get enough of with the crazy schedules
we keep. Giving them an
opportunity to take a step back in time together, reconnecting to each other as
well as creating those memories that they’ll reflect back on one day. Making something with their hands, being creative and learning from the experience.
Past projects for us have including making gingerbread
houses, hosting cookie-decorating parties with friends and making ornaments as
well as other projects. But as with the recurrent theme here, planning is key
to keeping things fun and running smoothly regardless of what activity you
plan.
Whether baking or crafting, Pinterest is a wealth of ideas
for projects and ideas. Luckily
with most of these a few clicks and you have your supply list and directions
ready for your use along with several photos to guide you. Just be realistic
about your time & ability, this is meant to be a fun time not the start of
something ugly!
Once you decide on what if any projects that you’ll do this
year go ahead and add these items to your shopping list and have then ready to
use once your ready to use them.
