The holiday season is a great opportunity to teach kids important lessons like generosity and compassion! Before they receive gifts, you can help them go through the toys they may not reach for as often and donate them to a toy drive to help spread cheer to other families.
8. LOOK AT CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

When it’s too chilly to play outside but you’ve been cooped in the house for too long, gather the family, and drive around looking at fun holiday decorations and lights in your neighborhood. Vote on which house has your favorite decorations or see who can find the most
9. GET COMFY + READ A HOLIDAY BOOK
Cube design: book
Make a comfy holiday pallet by piling blankets and pillows together on the floor, then cozy up together to watch a holiday movie or read a book! Want an idea? Check out our newest Light-Up Library book: Seek and Find with Scoops the Snow Pal.
10. CRAFT PAPER SNOWFLAKES
Cube design: snowflake
To make paper snowflakes, you need square sheets of paper and scissors. Fold the square diagonally in half, fold it into thirds, then trim the top edge and cut small shapes into the sides. When kids unfold the paper, they’ll have unique snowflakes.
11. BAKE COOKIES TO SHARE
Cube design: cookies
The best way to get in the holiday spirit is by sharing a little kindness (and maybe a treat or two). Turn on Christmas music or a holiday movie then make your family’s favorite cookie recipe. Don’t forget to make extra to share! Use our printable to write your recipe and share with friends or family.
12. WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR MAIL CARRIERS
Cube design: card with heart
This holiday season, be sure to spread holiday cheer to the mail carriers who go the extra mile to deliver gifts and mail near and far. Use our printable, have little ones write a note, then leave in your mail box!
