🎄 Tired of Bored Kids This Holiday? Let’s Get Creative!


Hey Reader!

Don't get me wrong, I love the holidays—but sometimes the kids get a little too cozy with the boredom bug, and I freeze trying to make the season magical.

Have you heard of the B.O.R.E.D acronym? Post this somewhere.

B - Been creative, or built something?
O - Outdoor play?
R - Read a book?
E - Exercised?
D - Done something helpful?

Sometimes outdoor play can be difficult this time of year for some of us up North. Now is the time to put those outdoor clothes on Santa's list! Make sure your kids are well-dressed and able to take the cold so you can play outside all year long.

But what do they do to be creative? That's where Celebrate comes in!

You’ll love having a plan to keep the holiday fun rolling without the stress. Celebrate is packed with 4 weeks of holiday activities that will keep your kids entertained—ranging from arts & crafts to sensory play and learning activities.
