Hello Wonderful Nalakai Families!
Anne here, and as the founder of Nalakai and a mom, I understand how the holiday season brings a blend of excitement and the hustle of preparations, especially when you have small children. There's something truly magical about experiencing the holidays through their eyes – the wonder, the joy, and yes, even the chaos! It’s a time for creating memories, establishing traditions, and most importantly, embracing the pure joy and love that family brings.
As we gear up for this special time of year, I wanted to share with you some ideas that have made the holiday season in my home a delightful and memorable experience. These ideas are not just activities; they're opportunities to connect, laugh, and create traditions that your children will cherish and perhaps, one day, pass on to their own families. And, let’s not forget, our trusty Nalakai slings are here to keep the youngest members of the family snuggled in close as we embark on these festive adventures.
So, without further ado, here are ten heartwarming and fun-filled holiday ideas for families with small children:
1.Create New Traditions...
As we navigate this beautiful season, I hope these ideas help you and your little ones find joy, laughter, and wonder. The holidays are a precious time – an opportunity to pause, reflect, and be grateful for the little things, especially the love and warmth of family.
From my family to yours, wishing you a holiday season filled with magical moments!
Warmly, Anne and the Nalakai Family
2.Decorating Together
There's nothing like the joy of decorating your home with little helpers. Let them be a part of it, whether it’s hanging ornaments or placing holiday-themed window clings. Your Nalakai sling can keep the youngest family member close and engaged during these activities.
3.Holiday Story Time
Spend some time each evening reading holiday stories. It's a wonderful way to wind down and get into the festive spirit. You can even have themed story nights, like “Reindeer Adventures” or “Snowy Day Tales”.
4.Crafty Fun
Get crafty with simple holiday crafts that your little ones can participate in. Think handprint ornaments, homemade wreaths, or paper snowflakes. These activities are not only fun but also help in developing their motor skills.
5.Light Tours If it's safe to do so, take a drive or a walk around your neighborhood to see the holiday lights. Bundle up your little ones in the sling and let them marvel at the twinkling displays.
6.Bake and Share Baking together is a quintessential holiday activity. Make it more meaningful by sharing with neighbors or donating to local shelters. It’s a great way to teach your children about the joy of giving.
7.Virtual Family Gatherings
If you can’t be with extended family, arrange virtual gatherings. It’s a great way for your kids to connect with loved ones far away and still feel a part of the larger family celebrations.
8.Holiday Music and Dance Put on some holiday music and have a dance party in your living room. It’s a great way to expend some of that holiday excitement energy!
9.Gratitude Jar Start a gratitude jar where each family member can write what they’re thankful for during the holiday season. It’s a beautiful way to reflect on the year’s blessings.
10.Relax and Unwind Finally, amidst all the activities, remember to take time to relax. Enjoy those quiet moments, snuggling in your Nalakai sling, breathing in the peace of the season.
The holidays are a time of joy, love, and togetherness. With these ideas, I hope you and your family find new ways to celebrate, making every moment with your little ones even more special.
Happy Holidays from my family to yours!
Anne Ferris
