I adore this time between Christmas and New Year. Even more so now my family are growing up. Last year for the first time in over 20 years my husband had to work over Christmas and New Year, but it also meant that he didn't have to work weekends in January (he is an accountant and that is tax season here in the UK). So we take things so - I read books, watch TV, craft and create for myself and not for work reasons and connect with friends. Ity marks the start of what I call my winter hibernation. Where I read more and do more hand stitching as I am not a winter person at all and I just would like to wake up and it be Spring. This Newsletter is just a short one with some New Year activities and such. There will be a big Happy New Year one on the eve of 2025.
So I hope you have a good time between Christmas and Newyear, that you enjoy the hush and manage to recharge your batteris
I love how excited kids get about New Year’s Eve and they really want to be part of the New Year's Eve celebration and will try so hard to stay up until Midnight, but never make it! We used to have an early New Year’s Eve Celebration so that they could feel part of the fun.
We filled our poppers with metallic confetti, but if you want to make less mess then you can use small pompoms, and tissue paper balls, or if you want to add some sparkles then you could add glitter! The fact is you can never have too much confetti and these are for a new years party.
Wish Crackers
Instead of jokes, these crackers each contain a wish we would like to come true in the coming year.
We also filled them with festive confetti and of course a paper hat
Simple January activities for Primary aged children is a great resource for the month with ideas of simple activities to do with kids aged 4-10.
These fun seasonal activities are simple to do with children of primary age and easily adapted to suit specific age groups. I have tried to keep it simple and low prep.
