Christmas Break Activities for Kids and Survival Guide for Parents

Are the kids home for Christmas break and already bored?  If you find yourself out of ideas for them to do over their holiday break, keep reading.

Christmas Week Survival Guide for the Kids

I’ve put together a Christmas Break Activities for Kids and Survival Guide for Parents to help beat boredom and hopefully keep the sibling bickering to a minimum. It’s filled with activities and projects they will love and that even adults will find engaging.

Every year, I wish I had been more organized, browsed Pinterest longer for more things to do, and had more time to try new recipes. In the end, I always wish I had “old school” activities on hand that required no electronic devices and kept my children engaged for hours and helped build memories.

Here are 10 I’ll be trying this holiday season:

1. Magic Reindeer Food Recipe
