The ultimate festive pack for parents

Between school events, shopping lists, family visits and the never-ending question of ​‘what’s next?’, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why we’ve created the ultimate festive pack for parents, a free, downloadable resource designed to help you find calm, connection and creativity throughout the holidays. 

Inside the pack, you’ll find a treasure trove of simple, affordable and heartwarming ideas to make the season more enjoyable for the whole family. From printable games and mindful activities to conversation cards and baking challenges, the pack is packed (pun intended!) with inspiration to help you make memories without the pressure to do it all. 

It includes ideas for family bingo, charades, a scavenger hunt, letters to santa, recipes for holiday bakes, a photography challenge for teens, a family gratitude calendar and SEND help conversation cards to support calm and connection. Everything is easy to download, print and adapt to suit your family’s time, energy and traditions. 

We know that not every family celebrates the festive season in the same way, and some don’t celebrate at all, but the winter holidays can still bring disruption and demands. That’s why this pack is designed for every kind of family, focusing on shared experiences rather than ​‘perfect’ traditions. Whether it’s baking together, making homemade decorations or simply enjoying a cosy film night, it’s about finding joy in the small, meaningful moments. 

If you’re looking for ways to keep the kids busy (and happy), the pack’s activities are full of ideas that don’t rely on screens or expensive outings. And don’t worry if your plans don’t look picture-perfect. Children remember warmth and laughter more than flawless decorations or endless activities. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s presence. 

So, this year, let’s make the festive season about connection, not comparison. About laughter, not lists. About calm, not chaos.
