75 Santa Activities for Kids
Kids love everything related to Santa during the month of December! This is a fantastic list of Santa activities for kids that the whole family will enjoy.
Growing up, on Christmas Eve I used to try and convince anyone who would listen that the little red light from the radio tower was really Rudolph’s red nose moving through time.

These ideas are perfect for your Christmas activities for preschoolers all month long!
