StoryTime Christmas

Our church has a storytime playgroup every other week and this week we had our Christmas party.

The kiddos dressed up in festive holiday garb and we did some Christmas activities.  Of course, I only snapped shots of a few things because I was in the thick of managing and helping.

We started first with a felt board telling of the Christmas story.  The leader told the story and the kids helped place the different people/items on the felt board.  This was a huge hit and we did it multiple times.

Then we sang some great songs like “Away in the Manager”…a classic and one of my favorites!

The kids colored a picture of the nativity scene.  Corbin decided that he just couldn’t find the exact color he was looking for on top, so he dumped the whole bucket out thinking he would surely find it at the bottom.  Surprise, he didn’t find what he was looking for…he had no idea what he was looking for. :)

One of my favorite activities, which I have no pictures of, was the Christmas tree decorating.  The kids had handmade ornaments and put them on the little tree we had in the room.  Corbin put a TON on the tree and loved it!

Of course no party would be complete without food.  Sugar cookies were devoured by all except Corbin. This kid does not like sweets.  We gave him half a cookie and all he did was play with it.  Oh well, that’s not something to stress over.  Although it does make you feel like your child is super strange when children younger than him are eating multiple cookies.

We had a great Storytime Christmas party!
