Fun Season of Christmas Events in Roseville CA
Tis the season! We’re more than half way through Autumn! Winter begins Thursday, December 21, 2017. Christmas is coming way too fast. Many have been enjoying all the Christmas events Roseville CA City hosts each year culminating with tomorrow’s fun Christmas events in Roseville CA. But there’s more fun to come.
Crafting For Christmas Roseville CA
One of my favorite Christmas “events” here in Roseville, or wherever I may be during the month before Christmas, is making all sorts of quick and easy Christmas crafts with kids and grandkids. This year, I’ve expanded that to include fun Christmas crafts with toddlers – since I have a most adorable grand-toddler to enjoy simple Christmas crafts with. (That’s the fun Snowman – above – he and I made last week.) If that’s you, too, here are some fun and easy Christmas crafts for kids and toddlers for you to enjoy as well.
For more Christmas crafts videos for kids and grandkids, check out my Holiday Joys and Grandkid Joys playlists at YouTube.
Be sure to check my Pinterest boards including Pinterest/KayeSwainRE/Grandkid-fun and Pinterest/KayeSwainRE/Christmas-Joys. And for fellow grandparents, join my Facebook Group RosevilleGrandparents for more ideas through the month. Wonderful for those days you are enjoying Christmas season babysitting events in Roseville CA. 😉
