Fun board game choices are The Settlers of Catan, Clue The Classic Edition, and a Ticket to Ride. A fun special treat maker is the Zoku Duo Quick Pop Maker. It creates yummy popsicles in just minutes. A Pizza baker or a fun Waffle maker are other great snack makers fun for the whole family. Museum memberships, zoo memberships, or an amusement park season ticket make great family gifts.

The list of Christmas tree crafts is for all ages and will make beautiful Christmas decor for the holidays. They can turn into handmade presents, too. Use leftover construction paper and a few toilet rolls to make beautiful paper trees. Another idea includes fabric Christmas tree ornaments that can be strung together to make a fabulous garland. Use felt, styrofoam and glue to make a cute tree. The sticky tree is a craft and sensory bin in one combining art and sensory exploration. Countdown the holidays by making a cute Christmas tree advent calendar. Pick an ornament each day in the month for a new activity. Making a tree that combines art and music is another great tip.
