Christmas is one of the most magical times of the year. It is full of holiday festivities and traditions. It is a time when new Christmas traditions start and old ones are passed down to your little ones to carry on forever. Make your one year old Christmas special by following this Baby’s 1st Christmas Bucket List. From making your baby’s first stocking to creating their first ornament, Christmas becomes even more magical now that you have a baby.
It’s time to get your newborn into their Christmas onesies as we jump into our Baby’s 1st Christmas Bucket List that you can follow and do with your little one for their first Christmas.
Advent Calendar
Advent Calendars are a fun and exciting way to begin the Holiday activities. The word “Advent” actually comes from the Latin word “coming”. There is something exciting about counting down the days until Christmas and getting a special treat every day. Believe it or not, there are advent calendars that are created specifically for babies. You can go online and search for baby advent calendar. You will come across many advent calendars that are baby-friendly.
Make First Christmas Stocking
Your baby’s first stocking will be one to remember. You can buy your baby’s first Christmas stocking or you can get creative and make your own. If you do decide to make your baby’s first stocking you can start by buying a blank stocking from your local arts and crafts store or online. Once you have done that, you can start personalizing the stocking based on what your baby is currently into. This way in a few years from now you will come across their first stocking and remember all the things that they liked at the time.
Make a Handprint Ornament
Baby’s handprint crafts are things that you can only do with your little ones during the first few years. With that being said, it is important to make it count. Making a handprint Christmas ornament is a fun craft that your baby can take part in. There are many cheap ornament kits that you can buy online or you can also look up how to make your own from scratch.
Go see Christmas Lights
Babies love anything colorful and bright. They always seem to be mesmerized by all the colorful Christmas lights. Going on a drive around your neighborhood to look at Christmas lights is a fun way to get them in the holiday spirit.
Take a photo with Santa Claus
Going to the mall and taking a picture with Santa is a must especially for your baby’s first Christmas. Make it even more fun and pick out a cute Christmas outfit for your baby’s first Sant picture.
Your baby’s first Christmas is always something that you want to remember. Hopefully you try one of these fun Christmas activities from this Christmas bucket list with your baby and start creating some fun traditions that you can do every year.
