\nWhen it comes to fancy dress, you\u2019re spoilt for choice. Ask all of the kids to dress as something Christmassy \u2013 this can be anything from an Elf to a snowman or a reindeer. Provide them with a few ideas on the invitations to get them started.<\/p>\n
\nAside from the essential Christmas tree, you can have lots of fun creating a festive wonderland in your home.<\/p>\n
\nA great idea is to create a Santa\u2019s grotto<\/a> \u2013 choose a small room, which you don\u2019t need to use and drape the walls and any furnishings with fabric in deep red and purple.
\nYou can then decorate the room with fairy lights, Christmas lights and decorations to make it feel festive. Get one of the adults to dress as Santa Claus and send the children into the \u2018grotto\u2019 to collect their party bags and any other treats.<\/p>\n
\nThere are lots of simple Christmas decorations that you can easily make with the kids and the whole family. Try making garlands from pine tree leaves, pine cones, tinsel and baubles. Other ideas include; painting the tips of pine cones white for a snow-effect, cutting snowflakes out of paper to string around the house.<\/p>\n
\nGift Wrap Relay
\nDivide the children into two teams and provide each team with a gift-wrapped box \u2013 you should also prepare stations with pre-cut wrapping paper and cello tape. Each child has to run to a station, unwrap and then rewrap their box, before running back to their team and passing it on to the next person. The first team in which every child unwraps and rewraps the box, wins.<\/p>\n
\nFill a stocking with a collection of \u2018mystery\u2019 party bag fillers, with a distinctive tactile feel. Each child has a chance to feel the fillers inside the stocking \u2013 if they can guess what they are without looking, they get to take them home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
