Since we have four kids it can be really fun to see the variety of kid made Christmas cards and gifts that they can come up with.

Children’s Books About Christmas Songs

November 14, 2016 By Thaleia 2 Comments

Growing up I remember hearing and sing a lot of Christmas Carols and silly Christmas songs some of which my children do not know. One of the ways I share new things with our children is through a good book. While my children do not always remember the exact words to songs I figured sharing a book with a Christmas song as the main story would help them remember. Can you really remember all the words to “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” for example? I know I certainly cannot. I also forget many of the verses of more common Christmas Songs since we only sing them for one month a year.

I chose activities that are great for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarten aged children. These types of activities usually work very well for this age of child. These activities would be great for classrooms, daycare as well as homeschool.
