With all that’s been happening around this year and keeping in mind the safety of our loved ones, Christmas this year won’t have the usual frolicking around and get-togethers! But don’t dampen your Christmas Spirits just yet!
We have curated our own special recipe for you to enjoy an Ellybean's Homemade Christmas with your near and dear ones!
Here’s a list of super simple activities that you can do with your little ones at home, and make some adorable Christmas memories while you’re at it!
1. Easy Faux Gingerbread Houses: Start your day with some DIY delectable! Kids love Gingerbread cookies and building the gingerbread houses. But the time it takes to bake gingerbread cookies from the scratch (let’s not forget the mess that it creates) is a little too long! So, we have found a rather simple way to do this activity, minus all the fuss. All you need is this small list of ingredients and your little sous chef to help you create these cute houses.
Ingredients: Malted Milk biscuits, Icing Sugar, Sprinkles, M&Ms, Smarties or candies of your choice.

For a more cozy and personal Art time with your little one, get some art supplies, lay down on the floor besides them and dive into their world of wild imagination like never before! You’ll be surprised to see this new side of your baby. Pro Tip: Our Personalised Doodle Books make the best canvases!
3. Set the mood with a Christmas Playlist: There are some songs that just set you in that festive mood! And you need them on your playlist! Create a fun Christmas song playlist and let it set the perfect ambience in your home. Here is our recommendation!
