It’s a constant battle trying to balance kids’ screen-time, but the Christmas holidays are a great opportunity for some quality family time away from the glare of the digital world.

Some activities may even become a family tradition that you repeat every year, or at the very least provide you with happy Christmassy memories.

Here are 13 ideas to keep the kids away from the glare in the run up to Christmas, on Christmas Eve and beyond... https://bit.ly/3pIpzaF

I LOVE the quality of our puzzles! Even with kiddos who are rough on things, these puzzles stand the test of time! We have several of these for when my twins were 3 and oh gosh they loved them!! Our Cinderella is one of their favorites to put together after 6 yrs!

Hmm, what to buy the children? A book? Or a jigsaw? Get both! Here's a book and three jigsaws that follow Santa as he gets ready for the most magical night of the year.

Little children can complete the nine-piece jigsaws to recreate three of the snowy scenes, and enjoy spotting all kinds of details in the book.

Watch a video of the jigsaws on our website: https://bit.ly/3lz0PjR
