Earlier today I shared some easy dot sticker Christmas crafts that the girls had fun making. Throughout the week we also used these same materials for learning activities.
This simple color matching activity is meant for toddlers and younger preschoolers.

Like before we started with a Christmas tree cutout and removable dot stickers. This time I placed dot sticker “ornaments” on the tree and asked Tinker to match the colors.
It takes a lot of fine motor control to place those stickers right on top of each other, but she did a great job.
After she placed the first set of stickers, Tinker asked for more. I guess we’ll call this activity a hit then!

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.

Great fine motor activity!! Love this – have those stickers hidden away somewhere in the basement…my preschoolers may just find this activity at one of their centers tomorrow! 🙂
