A story with princesses, dragons, heroic knights and fairies by the burning wood is the perfect scenery for long-lasting memories.
Select a story centered in winter scenery. Clear you throat and smoothen your voice with a hot chocolate. Read the story once or twice beforehand in order to enhance it with facial expressions and the right feeling at the most exciting points – your children will love it!
Your biggest reward? Their enchanted eyes, as they will look at you with interest, literally hanging from your lips!
- Have a Movie Night-in!
This suggestion is a more relaxing – for you- version of the previous one. Even if it does not promise to provide the same connection with your little ones, cuddle up in a warm blanket and watch together a Christmas adventure for children.
Don’t forget the necessities: low lighting, firaplce, popcorn and hot chocolate!
- Bake Traditional Christmas Cakes and Cookies Together!
Children love the feeling of creating – independently of the mess they might leave behind them in the process!
The kitchen is the ideal area for both, don’t you agree? Besides children not only love to eat cakes and sweet, they love making them too.
Find a couple of easy-to-make traditional Christmas cakes, like melomakarona, and ask your children to help you. They can stir the mixture, shape the cookies or spread the sugars. The important thing is to feel they are contributing to the procedure.
- Build Something or Engage in Handicrafts Together
Maybe you can draw something together or create Christmas cards with their favourite heroes, fascinating landscapes or stories they love. Next, make sure you decorate a room with their creations.
- Sharing Love with Furniture you do not need anymore
There is no better lesson for a child from following the examples of their parents. The best lesson is the one where you teach them the meaning of sharing with other people, especially those that need them the most.
LIFETIMEKidrooms has started a unique initiative – bringing together children’s furniture that is in a relatively good condition but no longer used by families like yours, covering all transportation costs to families and children in need. The campaign has already prompted dozens of families to share love and joy with young children who need to feel it like nothing else.
Would you like to help? Discuss with your children whether they could give a furniture to other in need and imbue to their hearts with genuine, real love for others.
Finally, don’t forget to share your love with your children as well!
