Countdown to Christmas: Activity #1--Go on a sleigh ride
Countdown to Christmas: Activity #1--Go on a sleigh ride
Props Needed: laundry baskets, towels or large scarves, bells
Toss the clean laundry out of the laundry baskets and pile your kiddos in for a fun sleigh ride through your house. Loop a beach towel or a scarf through the handle to avoid back pain for Santa's work horse. Use towels to cushion the baskets for the wee-est of elves. Sing "Over The River" while taking your kids on a ride they won't soon forget!
Check It Out: Over The River
WHY Do We Do This: Our little friends have a difficult time understanding space and boundaries, so sitting in a basket defines their sense of space. You might want to even read them a holiday book or two and see how long they'll sit in their baskets! This song is also a great way teach prepositions--(OVER the mountains, THROUGH the woods, UNDER the kitchen table, AROUND the dog). And, it's just plain ole family fun!
Post a comment or a picture on our Facebook Page about how you used this activity, and you might win yourself a pair of jingle bells to add an extra dose of fun!
