Once we have children our lives pretty much revolve around them. While it’s nice to get together with adult members of your family, kids can get into everything…. Y’all know what I am talking about. I covered this back in my pre-Thanksgiving post about activities for kids. Here are some fresh links for activities for kids to do on their own and with adults.
Our first activity which will require adult supervision is a Spinning Christmas Tree. This looks like it would be fun for the science freak in your family to do with kids. Beth does have printables as well.

Paper snowflakes! This is always a favorite. I used to do this in elementary school. I am sure a lot of people did. Here is a site that gives directions and patterns you can print off.

Here’s one last link. While most teens will keep themselves entertained this will help you littles keep out of trouble.

Here’s one last activity you can do with your kids, let them help. Yeah! Kids love to help their parents. Make them Coat Checker which is a fancy word for hanging coats up. Let them make little holiday-themed number tickets. This would be a great job for the 8 to 11 age. Also, another job for this age group would be Bell Hop. Fancy for the carrier of luggage. For the 4 to 7 you could let them be the Matre D. Again fancy word for the greeter. They can show guests into the living room. For your 11 to 12 we have Guest Assistant. Fancy for a waiter. The 4 to 8 is a great age to show them how to set a table for dinner. Also how to Stage a room. Use the word Stage instead of decorating. It will make them feel important.
(I had to do the links as plain text because I couldn’t connect with one of them but their ideas were spot on.)
