We've had a lot of rain recently - I know, a lot of people have had snow but that won't happen in our neck of the woods, but let me tell you we've had rain. A lot. And so we had to find things to do inside. The other thing that has happened is that this year we have none of our Christmas decoration. I don't fancy going out buying a lot of things just for this year so instead we spend time making things. It's a bit limited what you can do with a 3.5 year old - he is really into MAKING things but that doesn't mean you can make the most complicated things. So we opted for potato stamps:
First press cookie cutters into potato halves, about 1cm deep. With a knife take off the surplus of potato that is outside of the cutter shape. I wouldn't recommend using plastic cookie cutters, the metal ones are just easier to get into the potatoes.

Get colours, glitter and paper ready ....
Once finished, let your stamps dry fully.
Cut out and place in a heavy book overnight to flatten them. Then stick around your fireplace, voila.
And if you're still looking for some last Christmas cards, print off some free ones here at Dawanda. Christmas stress? Pah!! [frantically buys last-minute Xmas presents online with no hope in the world of receiving anything before the end of January]
