Our Christmas Activity Pack is here! A mix of festive crafts, games, and printables to make December magical without spending a fortune.

Introducing the Christmas Activity Pack

Christmas is such a magical time of year — but it can also be busy, expensive and a little overwhelming when you’re trying to keep the children entertained without endless screens or shopping trips. That’s exactly why I created the Suitcase & Scrapbook Christmas Activity Pack — a mix of creative, educational and memory-building tasks designed to keep the sparkle alive all season long

Each page is made to encourage imagination, learning, and togetherness — perfect for quiet afternoons, festive weekends or time off school. Here’s a little peek inside.

Christmas Colouring Sheet

Simple, calming and easy to set up — ideal for early mornings or winding down before bed. Colouring helps with fine motor skills and mindfulness, giving children a creative outlet to focus and relax.

Brownies for Santa

A delicious baking activity with a festive twist! Children can mix, measure and decorate while practising real-life skills like weighing and following instructions — and you’ll have something tasty to leave out on Christmas Eve.

Design a Bauble

Let little artists design their own tree decorations. This one encourages self-expression and can even be turned into a keepsake by transferring their design onto card or felt.

Santa’s Busy Day (Creative Writing)

A fun story-writing task using festive vocabulary prompts. It’s designed to help children build confidence in creative writing — whether they’re imagining Santa stuck in the snow or the elves running the show!

Christmas Around the World

A mini geography-meets-culture lesson, exploring how different countries celebrate Christmas. This task helps spark curiosity about the wider world and opens up great family conversations.

Guess the Christmas Carol

Test your festive music knowledge with this light-hearted challenge — fill in the missing lyrics! It’s perfect for family time around the table or in the car on the way to see lights.

Christmas Light Trail Scavenger Hunt

Take the fun outdoors! This printable checklist turns any local light trail or festive walk into an adventure — spotting reindeer, snowflakes, Santas and stars as you go.

Ways to Spread Joy

This page helps children think about kindness and gratitude during the festive rush. From writing cards to helping neighbours, it encourages empathy and small acts of giving.

Christmas Word Search

Classic and simple fun. Great for quiet moments or early finishers, helping children with spelling, vocabulary and focus — disguised as festive fun.

Christmas Market Bingo

Designed for family days out — spot hot chocolate stalls, twinkling lights and people in Christmas jumpers! It’s a brilliant way to make local markets more interactive and meaningful for children.
