It’s always fun to mark then end of term and spend time with your friends in the school holidays, so when The Girls asked for a festive event, who was I to say no?
The result was a Festive Christmas Tree Activity Party, where everything was tree-shaped.
This printable on my Advent Activity Calendar board on Pinterest, via Vegie Smugglers. It’s a great colour-and-cut printable that is a quick and easy activity for any age group.
You always need party food and it couldn’t be easier to make a Christmas Tree Fruit Platter- just slice fruit and arrange on a plate. If you are feeling decadent, you could decorate with sprinkles and chocolate icing! We also had Christmas Tree sandwiches and mini-pizzas- the tree-shaped cookie cutter did overtime- as well as cookies.
This is a popular craft on Pinterest at this time of year. I stuck an ice-cream cone to a rich tea biscuit with icing, then The Girls covered their cones in green icing and spent a good half an hour adding icing and sprinkles.
We love our Roll a Reindeer Game, so I took the idea, and re-worked it for a Christmas Tree. I cut up some of the pieces in advance, but most of the embellishments were from my craft boxes. A dice, and a few glue sticks and it’s game on!
You are such a fun (and organised) mummy, Kelly! Your girls are lucky to have you. May try some of this stuff with L.

Hardly @expat. Lucky/fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants more like. But thank you. And take every nap you can. I did.
