Winter Break Activities for Kids: Every Morning Planned, Dec 20 to Jan 2

One activity a day with an indoor swap for every outdoor day, without a daily what-do-we-do

  • 3 pages

A free two-page winter break plan for kids ages 3 to 8, one page per week. Each day has a date, one anchor activity, a tag (outdoor, indoor, screen-free or quiet day), the ages it suits, prep time, mess level, an indoor swap or note, and a check box. Week 1 is Christmas week: short, low-prep mornings, a scavenger hunt on the 24th and a no-plan quiet day on the 25th. Week 2 is the week after: longer outdoor mornings, a cardboard igloo build, kitchen science, New Year's Eve countdown bags, a slow January 1 and a reset note for January 3.

The third page is for grown-ups and shows what is in the free 50 Screen-Free Activities pack for the afternoons the plan leaves open.

Prints in color or black and white on US Letter. The drawings are flat shapes with thick outlines.
