We’re heading into the holidays and this is a great time to spend crafting with your family but how much time do we really have, here are some simple toddler activities for Christmas. Because we just don’t have time to do a huge project every day.
We like to get messy but on some days I just don’t want to have to clean up a huge mess so I like having a stash a simple activities to do with my toddler that are easy to put together.
I cannot believe we are already at the end of November. I love this time of year because Christmas is right around the corner. I don’t love the snow as much but it’s definitely a must for Christmas.
