New Year Crafts for Kids

It is only 10 days until 2008 and you might be planning to celebrate the coming of the New Year with your kids - or put them to bed at the normal time and have an adult celebration! Either way, children love the concept of a "new" year and it is a good time to think about their aims for the year ahead and work on some personal or family goals.

On a practical level, if the kids are staying up you are going to need to keep them entertained way past their normal bedtime! We have New Year puzzles, New Year printables, New Year coloring pages, New Year jigsaws and a brand new page of New Year crafts which should help you to do that!

Kwanzaa for Kids!

Kwanzaa is celebrated over the 7 days between 26th December and 1st January each year by African Americans, primarily in the US. If you celebrate Kwanzaa (or would like to learn more about the holiday) please take a look at our new Kwanzaa page, where we have a collection of Kwanzaa crafts and inspiration for many more Kwanzaa activities for kids.

Christmas cookies * coloring page & recipe

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup Hugs
4 teaspoons Kisses
4 cups Love
1 cup Special Holiday Cheer
3 teaspoons Christmas Spirits
2 cups Goodwill Toward Man
1 Sprig of Mistletoe
1 medium-size bag of Christmas Snowflakes (the regular kind won't do!)

DIRECTIONS:

Hugs, kisses, smiles and love until consistent.
Blend in holiday cheer, peace on earth, Christmas spirits and good will toward men.
Use the mixture to fill a large, warm heart, where it can be stored for a lifetime, (it never goes bad!).
Serve as desired under mistletoe, sprinkled liberally with special Christmas Snowflakes.
It is especially good when accompanied by Christmas family get-togethers.
Serve to one and all - and have a very, Merry Christmas!
