Meaningful (and Fun) Christmas Activities that Become Family Traditions

Once December hits, we are all about the memories. There’s something very magical when you have kids and feel like you are reliving your best Christmas days through their eyes. Or maybe even experiencing them for the first time.

Ideas

Gross Motor Skills

We need gross motor skills for everyday activities, such as getting dressed, walking to work and school, and sitting at a desk (4).

Toddlers and preschoolers need well-developed gross motor skills so they can learn how to:

Dress and undress.
Use the potty.
Navigate the world around them without bumping into things.
Cope with walking on uneven surfaces and up and down hills.
Sit comfortably at the table to eat.
