Book Advent: Day 20 {Christmas Action Cards}

This is it, my friends--Christmas is this week.  

Can you believe it?!  I am half ecstatic and half overwhelmed. I have so enjoyed our book advent, and the extra bit of Christmas magic it adds into our days!  I don't know about you, but I really enjoy a little something special mixed into the drab routines of day to day!  I think Little Man does, too!

Today we read Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree, a charming story of a tree used in lots of different ways!  I haven't played on the computer much lately, but I've been wanting to do some kind of "action" activity with Little Man to review and celebrate all of the symbols of Christmas.  You mothers of little boys know how it is... boys just want to MOVE, and they often learn best through movement.  So I think these action cards will be a perfect way for him to see the pictures and act them out.

We will probably take turns drawing cards and then acting out the requested actions.  Here is what I came up with:


To create these fun action cards, I used fonts and clip art from DJ Inkers.
