A Christmas Eve visit from the Pajama Elves

This festive season my children were invited to a Kids Christmas party at their cousins. Ages ranged from 6 month old twins to my almost 9 year old daughter. Ages 2,4 and 6 were covered by the 4 boys between. That’s 6 boys and one girl!

Christmas Party Ideas

My cousin arranged the event, I just had to show up and help out. Bonus!

These are some of the lovely Christmas party ideas we enjoyed together.

Jam Tarts: When we arrived our first task was to cut circles and stars out of ready rolled pastry and place them in a tart tray. The children then filled them with strawberry or apricot jam and finally a little pastry star on top

Mince Pies: Next on the list was minced pies. Again the children cut out pastry circles and this time, larger stars. The pastry circles were filled with store-bought fruit mince and the stars placed on top.

While the jam tarts and mince pies were baking the younger members of the group built a Christmas train track with a battery operated train which was decorated in tiny Christmas light string

Gingerbread House: My older two and I constructed the gingerbread house and let it set. The younger ones joined us and everyone had a go sticking the sweets to the outside of the house.

Play dough: After a quick clean up, each child was given their own piece of play dough. They set about making Play dough Christmas models. when they were done, they added a touch of glitter to make their models sparkle.

Christmas Party Ideas

Dance time: After all that sitting and table top creating, it was time for some movement. Using Christmas music Cd’s the children were able to dance, play musical snowman, musical bumps, and even did the conga.

Go Outdoors: While the house was being cleared and arranged for the hot chocolate  and movie, we took the children outside and played stuck in the mud, collected Holly and berries for the Christmas table decoration and played with outdoor toys

Hot chocolate and tarts: Soon it was time to have hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows and also to eat some of the tarts and mince pies we had made earlier.

Movie time: When that was devoured, everyone cuddled up on the sofa to watch a movie. Of course the younger ones did not last the entire movie and in the end only the eldest-girl was left watching. But no one minded and soon we all drifted off home.

At some point in my teaching career I came to realise how little ‘real’ information there was for parents. I would get the same questions from friends and parents mainly about keeping the children learning and engaged and this only increased when I gave birth to my daughter. Read more about me and what motivated me to start Toddlebabes.
