Create a holiday activity tray. Add crayons, stickers, green and red paper, and a few printed pages. Children can color while you wrap gifts, prepare food, or finish other holiday tasks.
Make a kindness display. Hang finished pages with the quotes visible. Invite children to choose one message to practice during the week, such as kindness, joy, or sharing.
Turn pages into gift tags. Cut out a small section of a finished page and attach it to a wrapped present. Add the recipient’s name on the back.
Use them as classroom centers. Place two or three pages at an art station with a writing prompt such as, “My favorite Christmas tradition is…”
Pair coloring with a story. Read a winter or Christmas picture book, then offer the matching page. The tree, cocoa, reindeer, and snowman illustrations all invite extra storytelling.

Keep holiday crafting safe
Adult supervision is helpful when children use scissors, small decorations, ribbon, batteries, hot drinks, or craft supplies that could become choking hazards. The Mayo Clinic Health System also recommends keeping flames away from children, securing decorations, inspecting holiday lights, and keeping small or toxic seasonal items out of reach.
For a low-risk coloring activity, use washable supplies and offer a stable table or floor workspace. If you add cocoa or candles to a holiday sensory invitation, keep hot liquids and flames well away from children and never leave them unattended.
