There’s no denying we’re all feeling the pinch this year, but with children to please over Christmas there are still ways to make sure the season is as magical as ever for the youngsters in your household. No matter the budget, you can still put a smile on their face with a range of thoughtful, low cost gifts and activities.
Christmas wreath making
Christmas wreaths come in all shapes and sizes, and at this time of year, what could be better than one made by your very own hands? You can choose to keep it really simple by making a rag wreath from scrap fabric – for example, old red or green bedsheets; or you can get a bit more creative and add items inspired by nature. This is a good excuse to take your child on a walk around the neighbourhood or a local park to forage for suitable treasures. I use the term “suitable” in the widest sense as it could be anything from leaves and sticks to conkers and pine cones. Even old favourites from the toy box could play a starring role on your wreath.
