I have 3 small children but I have always wanted to create a "family tradition"/ a tradition for each child as they get older but I can't seem to think of anything.

Share below any ideas, id love to hear them 😊

Not sure what you have in mind...
We always encouraged our children to make birthday and Christmas cards for siblings/parents/grandparents from when they were tiny. They used to put on the back "Made for you by the bluesatin kid card company" and draw a fake barcode 😀Grandparents loved them - us too. I have a big collection now, they got quite elaborate as the kids got older. My son is nearly 30, he's become quite a good artist and I still get one most birthdays and sometimes Christmas.

We buy a new bauble each year for the Xmas tree but don't Xmas just gone as we had made some on holiday.

I'm no good at celebration cakes but good at baking so I make my kids a choc cake with choc icing and smarties for bdays. This has now become a tradition and they even ask for it if I ask them what cake they'd like. It has improved over the years adding fingers around the edge.
