Events
leading up to Christmas are perfect opportunities to capture and re-tell
special times like carols by candlelight, looking at Christmas lights, baking,
shopping for presents and visiting Santa. Use photos to help children tell
stories in order and add details to develop their narrative skills. Make little
books titled, “My Visit to see Santa” and let children have a go at writing and
drawing their own pictures. Keep mementos like Christmas cards, photos with
Santa and children’s pictures. Encourage them to retell events to Dad,
Grandparents, family and friends.
