COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS ACTIVITY BOOK

My kids fight over who gets to pick the day's activity first, and I love that each one is simple enough to pull off with things we already have in the house. The craft ideas are quick and the cooking ones don't need a million ingredients, so we've actually kept up with it all month.

My five-year-old loves waking up and checking what simple craft we'll do that day. The activities use stuff we already have at home, which is a lifesaver.

We’ve been using this book to keep the kids busy while I wrap presents, and the craft ideas are genuinely simple with stuff we already have at home. The cooking activities are a nice bonus, too—they actually turn out well.
