Invite your children's friends and neighborhood kids over for an afternoon of crafts. You can choose a few age appropriate crafts and have stations set up. If there are older kids, ask them to help the younger ones. Here are a few ideas.
One of our favorites is a snowman hand print bulb. Paint your child's hand using white acrylic paint Have them hold a blue glass bulb in the palm of their hand and then wrap their fingers around it. After the paint has dried, draw eyes, a nose and buttons on each finger. This makes an adorable snowman family. Write the child's name and year on the back and hang it on your tree. Thank you Mrs. Fimbres
The Family Fun website, has a "From Me to You" book you can print out. The pages prompt children to answer questions like: "My favorite thing to do with you is.." and "I love you because...".
