In our opinion, one of the best ways to celebrate Christmas is with some arts and crafts. Christmas engages all colours and senses from all the seasons. Baking, decorating and spending time with family and friends all makes for a joyous and happy time, especially around the holiday season.
Getting your children involved and letting them help in the kitchen, create Christmas decorations or even making their own gifts for their friends really helps them engage and learn new skills they didn’t even know they had. There are so many ways to engage all kids, especially those with visual impairments and other disabilities.
This tactile Christmas activity made with some Velcro and felt is easy to put together and take part. Adding a pipe cleaner as a loop also gives you the option to hang it up somewhere.
Bake some deliciously sweet brownies and decorate them exactly like your Christmas tree at home. This offers a great opportunity for hands-on learning.
Filling balloons with water and freezing them either outside or somewhere in which you can fit them. They show up very nicely alongside most walkways and if it snows you’ll really be in for a treat.
It may not be snowing right now, but there is still the option of making your own snowman with shredded paper and creating a fun and festive picture.
These few activities have hopefully given you enough inspiration to go on and create even create some of your own creations with your children. Getting them involved and learning only helps them in the long run and will overall improve their ability to perform in later life.
