Take a Trip Around the World This Holiday Season
If you're looking for a simple yet great way to enjoy the holiday season with your kids, you've got to try a Christmas Around the World experience!
Over the past few years, my boys and I have had a blast exploring how different countries and world cultures celebrate Christmas. These adventures have been an amazing way for us to get excited about our holiday celebration AND discover new traditions.
Learning about different celebrations helps children understand and appreciate our wonderful diverse world. It sparks curiosity, builds empathy, and creates exciting opportunities to try new traditions. Plus, it's just plain fun!
Through trial and error, I've found that keeping it simple works best. There's always so much to be done around the holidays! I make sure to have it as stress-free and mess-free as possible.
Books (especially picture books) have always been the basis for our Christmas Around the World learning fun. We love adding videos, baking, games, and printable activities (like these 20 Free Holidays Around the World coloring pages) to our collection.
