Dare I say .... Christmas. What are your plans for your Daycare Xmas Party?

[playfelt]

I don't do a big party as my gang is small and well usually half of them aren't able to do much for games etc. We spread Christmas out over the month and do more crafts - make simple ornament type stuff alternate days which I keep here and pictures to colour to go home - they colour waiting for their turn to do craft. I get baskets from the dollar store and put a christmas tea towel or cloth of some sort in the bottom and then their crafts. I add in a few extra ones from me I have made just for them and a few candies, candy canes, etc. and this is sent home a few days before Christmas. It gives me the freedom to vary it each year and go with the flow and age/time restrictions - not to mention costs.

We do some baking in daycare and they get to take some home. I used to offer some to parents at pick up but too many moms on diets who politely refused which hurt the kids feelings so too bad I'll eat them all my self then - kind of the little red hen in reverse, lol.
