Fun with Kids & Crafting at Christmas

The build up to Christmas seems to have lasted a very long time this year, and it's been wonderful.  4 years old seems to be the perfect age for anticipation, excitement and a deeper level of understanding than at 3.

One of the things we did this year was a Christmas party for the kids friends.  We had nine kids between 4 & 0, and had lots of fun with nativity stickers, decorating Christmas star biscuits, pin the tail on the camel and a nativity story with decorated toilet rolls ;-) followed by lunch.



 









 We're off to the Cathedral shortly for their crib service, and then having friends round to watch Mary Poppins before bedtime.

We've also had lots of fun making things, from recycling an old desk, to making reindeer hot chocolate with winter challenges attached, knitted bracelets, glittery fudge, knitted mini stockings and beetroot chocolate brownies.

And we've even recycled the Christmas cake decorations from my childhood, on our homemade cake this year.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2013!
