We have lots of Christmas ideas that will keep them engaged over the holiday. Keep reading below to discover some of our favorites you’ll love, too!

Christmas Books For Kids

Reading to your kids is a great way to help them explore their senses, open up their imaginations and strengthen their relationships with you.

Not only will it help improve language and literacy skills, but it can also make family time a fun and rewarding experience.

Using funny voices when reading stories will bring laughter and joy while hearing familiar tales helps provide comfort and an emotional connection.

Plus, being able to relate the characters’ experiences in the story can help foster understanding, empathy, and patience — important lessons that are actually more likely to stick when told through stories vs direct instructions!

Below are some of the top Christmas books to read to your kids!

Dasher: This wonderfully illustrated Christmas book for kids gives you the back story on one of Santa’s favorite reindeer, Dasher! Girls will especially love to read this since Dasher is a girl.

Construction Site On Christmas Night: Fans of the fun characters of the construction site books have to add this Christmas-themed story to their collection. See how the trucks get ready for Christmas!

How To Catch An Elf: Kids everywhere love the silliness of this Christmas story. The rhymes and the illustrations will draw the kids in as well. This is a Christmas book kids will want to read every year!
