Christmas in the 90’s

Crafts and Activities.
In the lead up to Christmas it was often difficult to keep the kids active every day. Here the school year finished around the 14th of December so the kids were home and already pleading boredom. Arts and crafts were big in the 90’s. . This was before kids knew NetFlix and other streaming services and they had to rely on their own initiative.
My kids enjoyed activity or colouring in books and we would hang their finished pictures up for everyone to see. Some of their craft projects were given to Grandparents and family members as a gift and were always welcomed.
After a day of gluing and cutting a VHS movie might also fill in some time. Many of the popular series of the time would bring out a Christmas version.
For the crafty Mum’s there were many great Christmas crafts available. Kits from the local craft store began appearing around August of September which gave us plenty of time to craft some new Christmas décor.
