Christmas Activities For Kids

Keep the festivities going with a Christmas unit study for kids. We have some great ideas to get you started!

First, we always suggest starting by reading books. Reading aloud is great for kids’ development and can help them to increase their vocabulary, learn, and use their imagination!
