December Days of Yore-A Peek-a-Boo Project


 December ushers in the winter season here in the United States and the celebration of the Christmas holiday. Although Chrismas decorations have been at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and JoAnn Fabrics since late June early July. I think we have forgotten the true meaning of this time of year and holiday. 

I recently reminisced about what it may have looked like seventy years ago. I loved looking through my gifted Jack and Jill and Children’s Activities magazines from the 1950s. These magazines feature heartwarming Christmas stories, fun activities, and charming graphics that can bring out the child in all of us.


The covers of the magazines showcase delightful graphics that evoke pleasant memories of the past. The illustrations inside are equally enchanting.























Each magazine also includes a mini cookbook with recipes for a complete meal and additional dishes.










After the meal, there are craft ideas to keep the children busy. Some of them would make nice gifts if you or your children are up for the challenge.

















If crafts weren't your thing, there were stories and poetry to entertain you, or you could have a delightful sing-along around the piano.


















There are fun activities to keep your brain active and off of computers.





The included calendars are fantastic and can even double as coloring pages.







It s fun to see tat advertisments that were included.




Some more scrumpious illustrations.
