One of the best ways to get the kids excited about more than just getting presents is to get creative at home! Not only will it get them off their screens, but it will help keep them busy as you prepare things around the house.

Made from simple materials you can pick up in-centre, these DIY Christmas baubles involve minimal mess and fuss. Grab yourself a pack of fillable Christmas baubles (available at Kmart), some fun decor items such as tinsel, coloured paper and stamps, and let the kids go wild with their imagination creating baubles to their heart's content.

Your little ones will be bursting with pride as they see their creations hang from the family Christmas tree!
