Free Christmas Printables for Preschoolers

The holidays are such an exciting time for our little ones!  If you are a mom or a teacher like me, though, it can be a bit overwhelming.  I am always looking for free and fun ways to celebrate and keep my kiddos in the holiday spirit.  And, of course, I am always looking for more time!  

I've put together a collection of fun, free activities that are ready to print and use.  They will save you tons of time, and are sure to bring some more holiday cheer to your kiddos.  Enjoy :)

1. Choose some of these Holiday Activities to add to your Advent calendar. (Edventures with Kids)
2. This Random Acts of Kindness Advent Calendar is such a special and meaningful way to celebrate the season. (Coffee Cups and Crayons)
3. Wrap 25 holiday books and Label them for each day.  Your child can unwrap one book a day until Christmas! (3 Dinosaurs)
4. Children can color this Santa Countdown Calendar as they wait for the big day.  (Speech Sprouts)

1. Use these adorable printable templates for your child's letter to Santa: HERE (Uncommon Designs Online), HERE (Kingdom of Azuria), HERE (Kids Activities Blog) and HERE (The Chirping Moms). 
2. If you're looking for gift tags, download cute free ones from HERE (Happiness is Homemade) and HERE (Picklebums).
3. These Gift Tags are great for a holiday teacher appreciation gift.
4. Print this Gift Tracker to stay organized! (My Joy-Filled Life)
5. After the presents are opened and enjoyed, be sure to have a set of Thank You cards on hand! (Across the Hall in 2nd Grade)

In my family, we have quite a few times during the holidays when the littles have to sit quietly for a period of time (church, long drives to visit family, holiday meals with Grandma, waiting in line for Santa).  To make the waiting just a little bit easier, I print these Quiet Activities to take with us whenever we go out.

1. Christmas Play Dough Mats (Gift of Curiosity) and more Play Dough Mats (Busy Little Bugs)
2. Holiday Busy Bags (Lalymom)
3. Lots(!) of coloring pages: HERE (Kids Activities Blog), HERE (Pink When), HERE (123 Homeschool 4 Me) and HERE (Itsy Bitsy Fun)
4. Do-a-Dot Activities are a nice change from crayons. (Gift of Curiosity)
5. My older kids really like to do word searches.  Print from HERE (Happiness is Homemade) and HERE (No Time for Flashcards).

Keep the season magical and fun!
