These printables bring the season to the kitchen table: a Christmas tree scene and snowy village to colour, Christmas word searches, word scrambles and missing-letter games, bingo for the family, a Christmas card template, a thank-you letter for after the presents, and drawing lessons for stars, bells, gifts and trees.

Good to know
Christmas looks different everywhere: snowy in the north, a beach day in Brazil and Australia. Children can learn how other families celebrate while making their own cards and decorations.
For classrooms with children of many backgrounds, the winter and snow pages work for everyone, while the Christmas-specific pages suit those who celebrate.
How to use these
- Print drawing lessons for stars, bells and gifts to decorate cards.
- Keep the thank-you letter template for the days after Christmas.
- Use the winter activity book for the school holidays.
