I have started looking on activity websites trying to come up with new ideas - it gets difficult when you have had a child for 3 Christmases to come up with something new!
I can't bring myself to start until Dec but then as Bunyip says you only need a child who attends just one or 2 days a week to be ill and then it gets a bit frantic trying to make sure they take home a similar amount to others - it sometimes ends up being "just plonk you handprint on this and sprinkle some glitter on this" trying to finish crafts off!

GOING TO START CLAY THINGS THIS WEEK SO CAN AIR DRY AND PAINT IN STAGES NEXT WEEK . DEPENDS HOW MANY CHILDREN YOU HAVE OVER THE WEEK, IF ALOT LIKE ME IT ALL TAKES TIME, AND IF A CHILD MISSES A COUPLE OF DAYS ITS MANIC TRYING TO GET IT ALL FINISHED . AFTER ALL MOST FINISH THE 19TH DEC 1 MONTH AND 2 DAYS AWAY!
I DO UNDERSTAND CHRISTMAS IS IN DECEMBER, BUT. ITS NICE TO ENJOY WHAT YOURE MAKING AND NOT HAVE TO RUSH.WILL LEAVE THE GLITTER TILL NEXT MONTH!

Lol!!
Been there, done that! Am planning this year on NOT playing catch up and children take home what they take home!
I have also (so far) barely bought any Christmas craft stuff as I know I have tons from previous years and I want to use it up!
I also have children who are on their 4th Christmas with me ... Argh!
I'm not starting till December either!
My tree will go up on Advent Sunday (30th Nov) and then I will consider it Christmas!

I am only going to send 3 craft items home. And they are going to be single items that the children need little or help help from me. And if I use glitter it will be glitter paint..... fed up with glitter everywhere and the rush to finish crafts. I will do a christmas baking activity the week before I close as some kids are leaving the Tuesday. It means the week I close we can play games watch Christmas films and chill....

My Xmas tree won't go up until the weekend before Christmas as I put it in the children's story corner/role play area - I put a real tree up outside on the deck though so they can see if through patio doors when eating meals or doing craft activities at the table.
I am planning on doing a Salt dough craft so may start this before Dec, just in case it's a disaster and I have to think of something else. (speak from experience of relying on peppermint creams for parent's Xmas presents - used boxes full of icing sugar and still they were soggy)!

Mine start on Friday, I can't wait :-) the Christmas countdown begins!

Mine start first week in December although we've been making plans already and know exactly what we are doing..

after tidying the playroom today, I have now changed my plans. We are going to make a christmasy night sky scene all around the top windows with a santa and sleigh, snowy roof tops and a big moon. I have also discovered so many xmas craft stuff so it's all going on the table and they can just get stuck in this year. So apart from the new baby who's only 11 months I'm not interfering this year. Let's see how long I can keep my nose out and my hands off!!

I am very tempted to just put out all my Christmas craft bits and see what happens! But ... I only have 1 LO who would be interested and the Schoolies would rush to do everything all at once! so I don't think it will work! :-(
