Advent Activities for Kids + Teens

It's not too late...

I know it’s December 1st – but it’s not too late to make the magic happen for your family. Disclaimer: I literally didn’t put a single thing in our advent calendar the past few years. Seasons come and seasons go. So if you aren’t in a spot to do it this year… no worries. And don’t stress or feel guilty! It’s all good!!

If you’re feeling the spirit and are up for it… here is a list I compiled for ours this year. It’s a mix of some little gifts… some craft days.. some kindness days.. and only two candy days (only because I was all done thinking of ideas, LOL)

The list.

OK. So here’s the list. My girls right now are 8, 11, 13, and 15. So a lot of these are with them in mind. Some can definitely be adjusted for younger kiddos as well. Make it work for your family!

I decided to get new mugs and fun hot chocolate for the cozy up with hot chocolate day. But you could totally just use mugs you already have!!

For movie night, you can make it a movie at home in your Christmas jams or a fun outing with the family. Do what works for you!

Supplies you may need to round up for some of the days: white paper, Christmas colored paper, general crafting supplies, an ornament to paint, gingerbread houses.

Gifts I purchased: Christmas pj’s, Christmas socks, mugs, hot chocolate, fun marshmallows, candy, a new Christmas puzzle.

Download/save the file – print – cut out the boxes and insert into your advent calendar!

I hope you have such a fun December, making memories with your kiddos and cherishing the moments. As my big girls get older, it is definitely on my mind so much more… to just make the best use of all the time we have together!

Merry Christmas friends!
