  1. I find there tends to be plenty of food at our pre school christmas parties, so I started doing up CD’s of our favourite christmas songs for each family to take home. The children love it, and it creates a bit atmosphere and excitement leading up to christmas.

    1. That’s a fun idea!

  2. So many great ideas. Pinning this now.

  3. So many awesome ideas! I remember pinning the melted snowman biscuits last year thinking, I must do them! I think we’ll do them for my daughter to give out to her friends at the end of the year. So cute. Pinning.
