These 25 Kid Friendly Christmas Activities can either be done by the kiddos alone, or with some parental help – but always with supervision.
Five words: glue, glitter, and pom poms. Â Don’t ever trust them with glitter.
My boys adore Christmas! Somehow my innate love for Halloween got eclipsed by a Christmas tree. It’ll happen.
I wanted to find some fun way for us to decorate the house and get it ready for the season, and make sure the boys could really help…not just watch me cut out snowflakes. The result? These 25 Kid-Friendly Christmas Activities!

Christmas Lights Scavenger Hunt
We go out driving around to look at Christmas lights at least once a week in December. This scavenger hunt is fun to bust out each time, or use one sheet for the whole month until you check them all off!

I have made Christmas cookies with my daughters and their friends for years. Now we are doing it with their children. It’s nice to hear from the grown up children and how much our doing the cookies meant to them. I have a great sour cream cookie recipe that I use. Frosted cookies can be so sweet. I take a tub of white frosting and melt it down. Then I brush it on with a paintbrush. The cookies are ready to be decorated. The kids always take at least a dozen cookies home. It’s a favorite Christmas tradition for us.
