Christmas Activity Advent Tree (FREE PRINTABLE)

Let's be honest.

Who's tired? 
Who has tired children?
Who can't even think about Christmas yet?

Whether we are ready or not, the end of the Australian school year is approaching and it is less than a month until Christmas! I love Christmas and the joy it brings to my family.  Somehow the buzz of Christmas gives me new energy!

I love doing special activities with my kids and counting down to Christmas.  In years past, I have done various "advent" calendars (read here).

This year I am sharing an "Christmas activity advent" with you! I promise that the activities are easy to implement. They will encourage your children to move, make, draw and have fun. 

For those who want to work on cutting skills, encourage your child to cut out the decorations.  Have your child choose one or two activities a day and place the cut out on the tree page. For those of you who are a little tired; I've included a page which already has the decorations and activities placed.  Simply choose an activity and get started! You could cross off the ones you have done or even do them multiple times.

OTs and teachers, feel free to use this in the lead up to Christmas.  Choose the activities that are relevant for your setting. You could even send home a printed copy for your families.
