Inside: Use this Christmas Emergent Reader to celebrate love and kindness during the Christmas season.


Christmas is really the most magical time of the year. Maybe it’s the music or the lights or the gift giving or the family traditions or the cookies. 

And it’s easy to get swept up in the busy-ness of the season and forget what it’s all about. In our family it’s about creating memories, giving to others, and kindness. (And maybe cookies too). 

So we try to slow down by focusing on family time and connecting by playing games like Christmas charades or baking cookies and spreading Christmas cheer and kindness. 

But it can be hard to remember to show kindness to others when the streets and the stores and our schedules get busy and frantic. 

So it’s essential to take the time to focus on kindness and how to show that kindness to others. This Christmas Kindness Emergent Reader is a great way to showcase all the ways to be kind and generous and helpful and compassionate during the Christmas season. 

Use this Christmas Kindness Emergent Reader Set to focus on kindness and all the ways we can be helpful, generous, patient, kind and polite during the holidays.  

Other Ways to Celebrate Christmas with Kids 

We love celebrating Christmas and sneaking in some kindness at the same time!
