There are only few weeks until Christmas is officially here. If you're looking to keep the kids busy while you do some baking or decorate the house, this list will help.

There are plenty of easy printables and crafts even for the younger kids. They can color and assemble a printable Christmas tree that can be used as an Advent Calendar. Parents can print out some Christmas cards for the kids to color so they can mail the cards to their grandparents. There are ginger bread house templates and recipes you can make, kids of all ages like doing this.
