25 Days of Christmas

Dear People Who Read My Blog,

I've put together a fun activity for the kiddos to do leading up to Christmas.  I've made and laminated paper "presents", then written on the back different things for us to do, one a day, until Christmas.  The kiddos will take turns (happily, of course) choosing one of the presents to do that day.  Below you'll see the list.  If they're things that I found online, I linked them, so that if you want to, you can look to see what the different things are.  I'm going to try to post some of finished projects, either here or on my school blog or the kiddos blogs (they're private, so links. Sorry.  If you'd like an invite, let me know).  Merry Christmas!

Love,

Me:)
