      Nicely done. Excellent post. Thank you, gives me tons of ideas.

      Cheers Sharon…

    3. I am definitely taking notes of things to do with my daugher during that time. Not sure what I am going to do but I hope to have a ton of fun doing it.

    4. Wow. So many activities! This is going to carry us over until Holiday break is over. I will also share this post with my siblings and cousins too. Keeping the kids busy with activities will help save our sanity!

    6. What an awesome list! It’s so good to have awesome blogs like yours to help keep me sane during the holidays! Totally saving this for later (it’s going to be MUCH needed!).

    7. I cannot wait for holiday break. I have been working so hard and it will be so nice just to take a break with the kids. I saved this list and I will try to most of them! I know for sure we will be donating some toys!

    10. I have been worrying about what we are going to do to stay busy during the holidays. Thanks for all the great suggestions! I hope I can keep the kids busy.

    13. THese are great ways to spend the time over winter break. Keeping the kids entertained can be challenging for sure. We love to paint with Q Tips too. Making cookies is always fun also.

    14. Making different crafts is always a big one on our lists. We go the the library and to our play center as well. Have to keep everyone busy and happy. Plus we play tons of games.

    16. This is such a great list! My daughter always donates piles of gently used toys to a local charity. The kids always help and it’s a good way to teach the kids to give back. Of course, they also give away new toys to kids in need.

    19. You have some awesome ideas here. We already have a pretty full vacation planned, but if we get some downtime, I will use some of these great ideas.
