A Very Toddler Christmas Series {23 Days of Activities} for 2015

This week we are kicking off our third annual A Very Toddler Christmas Series! We will be featuring simple festive activities for toddlers all month long leading up to Christmas. I am excited to host this series again this year!

The goal of this Christmas series is to do something simple with my toddler each day during December that is fun, builds our relationship, and gets us in a festive mood! 

This year our series will be held on Instagram, not via a dedicated email newsletter. I am preparing for the arrival of our fourth baby in about a month so I am so sad that I won't be able to pull together a daily email... but hopefully it will be back next year!

Posts will begin on Tuesday, December 1st and end on Wednesday, December 23rd. I will try and get them up each day by 12am PST (US Pacific time zone) so you can follow along and join in daily. 

If you have participated in this series before then you will find that we repeat some favorite activities and we will also be sharing some new ideas. As part of our series we'll do crafts & learning activities, read books, and even do a few cooking projects. Every activity will be simple, have easy to get materials, and will be geared towards kids ages 2-4 (though many can be adapted for younger or older kids).

To subscribe you can either follow Toddler Approved via email or follow me on Instagram (@kristinatoddlerapproved). 

I will post a few additional things on the blog and some personal photos on Instagram during the month too... but every day during December you will definitely get a minimum of one fun Christmas activity to do.

Here are two of our favorite activities that we shared last year...

Giant Alphabet Tree

Christmas Sensory Board for Kids

We also shared another post featuring 10 simple Christmas activities for toddlers if you need additional ideas.
