Christmas is such a magical time for kids, but especially toddlers. The joy and wonder that these little ones experience during the holiday season are the stuff lifelong memories are made of. To help make the holidays even more fun for toddlers, I’ve put together a list of our favorite 20 Toddler Christmas Activities. Over the years I have made a Cardboard Tube Christmas Tree and and Angel Christmas Ornament with my toddlers. While the projects I am sharing today can be done by toddlers, older kids would enjoy them as well. Be sure to also check out our Memorable Christmas Activities for Kids.
