Christmas Crafts Encourage little hands to get creative with Christmas
crafts. From making paper plate Santas to cotton ball snowmen, these hands-on
activities enhance fine motor skills and allow children to express their
festive spirit.
Dive into Christmas Books Create a cozy reading corner adorned with twinkling lights
and soft cushions. Choose age-appropriate Christmas books that capture the
magic of the season.
Reading aloud not only introduces new vocabulary but also
fosters a love for storytelling.
Santa’s Maths Workshop Transform ordinary objects into festive maths manipulatives.
Use jingle bells for counting, sorting, and creating patterns. This interactive
activity introduces early maths concepts in a playful way.
Ornament Making Engage nursery children in making their own Christmas
ornaments. Whether it's a handprint reindeer or a sparkly star, these ornaments
not only adorn the tree but also foster a sense of accomplishment.
Letters to Santa Encourage the joy of writing by assisting children in
composing letters to Santa. This activity enhances early writing skills while
allowing them to express their Christmas wishes and thoughts.
Christmas Carols Introduce nursery children to classic Christmas carols.
Organise a festive karaoke session where they can sing along to tunes like
"Jingle Bells" or "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." This
activity promotes language development and rhythm.
Sorting Stockings Fill stockings with various small objects and encourage
children to sort them by shape or colour. This activity sharpens cognitive
skills while adding a delightful Christmas twist.
