There are so many ideas of how to celebrate Jesus' birth! No matter what the ages of your children, I believe they enjoy the traditions your family chooses to implement, especially during Christmas time. There are crafts, readings & books, recipes, calendars, and more! In fact, many more that you'll have time to do, especially since it's already the middle of December. Here are a few sites with many great ideas:
Confessions of a Homeschooler has many ideas for preschool age children. Many hands-on ideas, many printables and many links to other sites. Check out her Advent ideas.
Have you ever heard of a Jesse Tree? It's a way of looking at all the Old Testament events that lead up to the Birth of Jesus. There are readings for every day from Scripture along with an ornament to put on your special tree~the Jesse Tree. Here are a few sites that offer Jesse Tree printables and info: this sight, eriercd. gives the Scripture for each day and an ornament to print, cut out, and place on your Jesse tree; one of my favorite sites: A Holy Experience (a great site you'll just LOVE for your own personal growth, but there's a download on the side for a Jesse Tree packet she wrote)
Pre Kinders is a site that has all kinds of activities to print out and put together that really works on a number of skills, like sorting, patterns, recognition of letter/numbers. There are several that work for Christmas
I haven't looked at Activity village too much, but there are a number of crafts, coloring pages and fun activities there.
This site has some great Christian printables, letter work, coloring pages, and Christmas Ideas as well as crafts for your preschoolers or for a group of kids. There are some neat little books that you can print--one page long, that you fold up and it's a booklet for them to read. There are a few that are just for Christmas. Going here will bring you to several Christmas mini-books and coloring pages that are wonderful! Another idea is to talk through the names of Jesus, using these ornaments
Making Friends is a fantastic site for all kinds of things, but this link will take you to printable paper dolls for the Nativity. What fun! There are all kinds of other paper dolls you can print, as well as activities for Christmas and any other holiday.
Here's a site that shares many advent links: Teaching Mom
DTLK has a number of kids stuff, but here's the link to the snowman soup poem from today, as well as other gifts kids can make.
Enjoy your Christmas and the Celebration of the Birth of our Savior!
