Another way to make this activity more enjoyable is by involving your kids in the process. Let them help you choose which dot-to-dot coloring pages to print out, and ask for their input on how they want to use the finished product.
By involving them in the decision-making process, they will feel more invested in the activity and be more motivated to complete it.
You can also turn this into a bonding experience by working on the dot-to-dot coloring pages together with your child and sharing stories or talking about their favorite Christmas memories.
Lastly, don’t forget to praise and encourage your child throughout the activity. Let them know how proud you are of their efforts and creativity.
