Fun Christmas Idea for Children

Nov. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- When Alvin and The Chipmunks sing, "I can hardly stand the wait / Please Christmas don't be late," children everywhere understand. Waiting for Christmas is hard. Fortunately, fun activities can help make counting down the days until Santa's visit part of the holiday excitement.

Barbara Houghteling, creative partner at bkeepsakes.com, remembers,"When my children were young, they marked each day of December on a calendar  and then went on a treasure hunt for a small gift like a pack of crayons, sheet of stickers, or new book. I hid the gifts and gave them a simple clue. For instance, if the gifts were on their pillows, 'Where you lay your head when the day is done, you will find something fun.' Marking off the days helped them to see that Christmas really was getting closer, and the little gifts kept them busy."

The new Personalized Christmas Coloring Placemat from bkeepsakes.com was inspired by these wonderful Christmas memories. The festive front of the placemat is personalized and ready for mealtime, and the back has a Christmas tree to color with 24 numbered ornaments - one to count down each day of December while waiting for Santa. On Christmas day, it's time to color number 25, the star at the top of the tree! Waiting for Santa has never been so fun!
