Eric Carle’s lovely illustrations make the perfect Christmas counting story. Starting from 1 Father Christmas and ending with 10 presents, this is a cute way to introduce Christmas ideas and counting for little ones.
Now you have an answer to that eternal question: “Mom, what can I do?” “Make something and sell it!” is the answer. I don’t know about your kids, but mine absolutely love the idea of making things that they can sell and it’s always lovely to support their initiatives. Kids’ Market Day is jam-packed with wonderful creative ideas of crafts, yummy treats and decorative objects your children can make, with varying scales of difficulty.
While I would always encourage reaching for a book first, sometimes screen time can be educational and entertaining too. I’m also realistic – my children have been born into a time where screen time is part of their life and like it or fear it, books need to move over and make space for the newcomers on the block.
If you have a Minecraft fan in the house this is a great gift compilation of four bestselling handbooks, including the Essential Handbook, Redstone Handbook, Combat Handbook, and Construction Handbook.
Craft books are perfect for long holidays and this series educates children about seaside habitats while offering great creative ideas, perfect for a beach excursion.
We’d love to hear from you!
