5 Fun Activities This Holiday To Enhance Your Child’s #MultipleIntelligence

And let the stress season begin! LOL

Seriously, though this season can be really stressful, I thank heavens for giving us this break. It’s another opportunity for us to bond and well, enhance their Multiple Intelligence. Christmas break starts this weekend and as early as now, I am already planning the things that will keep them busy and happy.

1. Gift Wrapping Activity

Last Christmas, we made our own Christmas Gift Wrappers:

And this year, I think we will be more creative incorporating more materials and will be using Kraft paper!

2. Make some Christmas Socks or Snowman Socks

The tradition of hanging a Christmas sock was a tradition in our family. And according to my 3rd born, Santa Claus do exist and we need to continue this tradition. We don’t have a chimney but I am thinking of creating a “chimney” scene in our house. Their old socks would be too big for that so we might end up making new Christmas socks!

And speaking of socks, this Snowman Socks is a must try! Oh my! Now I am excited for our Christmas Break!

Here’s the link for this DIY Snowman Socks: http://diycozyhome.com/sock-snowman-craft/

3. Caroling

Would you believe if I tell you that I never experienced doing this? My lola’s too strict, we should be home by 6 PM! hahaha Sooo we’re not allowed to join our friends and sing We wis you a meri Krismas..

But this kind of activity gives your child an edge with being people smart… specially if they can trick their neighbors to give them more money for singing Christmas songs!

4. Bricks

And then after Christmas, when Christmas related activity is a thing of the past.. and the kids can’t wait for the break to be over, here’s one activity that will surely bring the brainy side of them!

A cup of bricks is a game where you scoop a cup (surprise!) of bricks and let their creativity do the job. This game can be timed or you can add 2 more cups to keep them really busy! The most creatives wins 100 kiss from mommy!

5. ExploreSandbox

ExploreSandbox is a monthly subscription box that caters to kids (o ha! hindi lang tayong mga nanay ang may subscription box!). Each box contains 3-4 activities for the kids to enjoy.

Here’s ExploreSandbox The World of Bugs box (nyaks! tongue twister! LOL). This box encourages the kids to to create their own bugs, meet some new one through bug hunting and experience how to be an insect! I am saving this box after Christmas..we’ll be doing some bug hunting activities in our province! O di mas exciting yan!

As you can see, the activities I listed here are as exciting for moms as it is for kids.. syempre, aside from enhancing their #MultipleIntelligence dapat, enjoy din tayong mga mommies!

From Being Brain Smart To Being People Smart (+Twitter Promo!)

I mentioned not that just once.. in fact I always mention this when I talk about my kids. My third son is the shyest of them all.

See what I mean.. masyado akong nag wo worry no? Hindi naman, he really is very shy.. but iyun nga, so many things happened to him. I think it all started when he was awarded Best In Math during their moving up ceremony. Na boost ang kanyang self confidence.. then came his award as top 6 last grading period.

But then last week, he surprised us with this…

Imagine, children’s party, a room full of adults and people he does not know.. and yet he participated and even went up stage to be the magician’s assistant.. kung hindi lang blue leaf ang venue (syalen to the highest level venue!) baka ngumawa ako ng iyak because of this achievement. Imagine, my shyest among the shyest baby boy is now starting to be people smart!!!! Ayayay! Nakakaiyak mga inay.. sobraaa!

Pero may mas bongga pa diyan.. report card came in a few days ago… and guess??? HE WAS TOP 3!!!!

Eto na po, hindi ko na napigilan ang luha ko.. jusmeeeee award nights ang drama ko!! Overwhelming!

And he said he’s ready to face anything, even sing in front of many people.

Ramdam nyo naman ang saya ko di ba?! I want to share this kind of happiness with you through a twitter giveaway. I am sure most of you may kwento ng achievement ni bagets di ba? Kwento na on twitter 🙂
