This week we’re sharing some of the easy Christmas activities we’ve been doing with dot stickers. So far we’ve shared a couple Christmas crafts and a color matching activity.
For preschoolers and kindergarteners you can add a little alphabet practice with this ABC letter matching activity.

We used the same Christmas tree cutout (can you tell I made a bunch of them this month?) and removable dot stickers. I made one set of uppercase letter dot stickers and one case of lowercase. Then I placed the uppercase set on the Christmas tree.
You can also choose whether to include the whole alphabet or limit the set to the letters your child already knows or is currently working on.
Lovey matched the lowercase letters to their uppercase counterpart. As she did so she said the name of the letter and the sound it represents.
You could also extend the activity by saying a word that begins with the sound.
Reading Confetti also has a really cute version of this alphabet activity.
Later today we’ll share one more easy learning activity to try with dot stickers.

Less stress, more connecting this holiday season? Yes, PLEASE!
From the arrival of fall to Halloween to Thanksgiving and Christmas, the last four months of the year can be a wonderful opportunity for making family memories and spending time together, but they can also be stressful as we try to collect ideas, recipes, and activities to try together.
Stephanie Morgan, founder of Modern Parents Messy Kids, a site that’s been voted Best Craft Blog in Parents Magazine and one of babble.com’s Top 50 Craft Mom Blogs, recently released a new eBook to help us have a little less stress and more time to connect with family this year, and I’m so glad to be an affiliate for such a great resource.
Stephanie’s goal is to make it easier on all of us to enjoy the holidays with our kids. Hands-On Holidays is 100 pages full of her family’s very favorite ways to connect as a family over the holiday season. I love the convenience of having so many ideas in one place, and most of them are simple enough for even my toddler to participate in.
The book includes picture book suggestions, DIY decor, activities, and treats. Bonus sections also offer even more ideas to enjoy. Click here to view more details.
