11 Ways to Keep the Kids Entertained Christmas DayImage via hello, Wonderful

It’s Christmas Day. Lunch still has another 40 minutes to go in the oven. The kids have had way too much sugar. Tempers are fraying. Sound familiar?

How do you a) avoid meltdowns from everybody? and b) keep the kids entertained until lunch hits the table?

I was asked to write an article on 11 Brilliant Kids’ Activities for Christmas Day for Mumtastic. This basically enabled me to justify spending time on some of my favourite blogs.

I’ve rounded up 11 great activities that are easy to set up and easy to pack away. And I have my fingers crossed that they will keep the kids calm and entertained and buy you some time to enjoy a beverage, finish a conversation and get lunch on the table.
