KidZone: Christmas Creative Writing Prompts
Introduction:
These creative writing prompts are a fun Christmas activity. I like to introduce them towards the beginning of December to complete leading up to the holiday (if you're anything like us, the entire month is "Christmas focused"!).
Each worksheet provides a different inspiration to help spark a child's creative writing.
