Ideas for Christmas experience gifts for younger children who would miss festival

[mr19x]

I have bought tickets to a family festival for my husband, 2 older children and myself as part of their christmas (& ours). I Know my younger children would not enjoy it so I am looking for some sort of experience that my husband and I can do with them to be a part of their christmas gifts too.

Thanks

how young?

2, 4 & 7

Lapland to see Father Christmas, @mr19x? Or a UK based Winter Wonderland type thing?

Sorry should have said, not a christmas related experience. Just a day out that can be a gift for christmas as the older 2 will be going to a festival.

Ticket for a nearby theme park/zoo/aquarium/farm? I have one LO who’s 4 and these would be his dream as a present.

depends what you've got nearby and how much you want spend......
panto after xmas
children's theatre show
zoo / farm park / aquarium
theme park such as Thomas Land or Peppa Pig world
annual pass for soft play
steam train ride / thomas the tank engine day

We took my grandson to London for 2 nights, just a premiere inn, we did the shrek adventure, he loved that, the Paddington experience is next door, wish we did that too, plus the natural history and science museum they are free x

I took mine to a kids festival Gloworm when they were 6 and 7. We met Dinosaur Andy and there was loads to do

I did the sleepover at the natural history museum in London one year as a Christmas present for my boys, that was really fun 😊

Not a huge activity, but you can plan a quiz type game with small prizes and questions based on their favorite characters, movies or books, overall interesting facts etc. It all could be done as a video with pictures with questions and answers and music and for the prizes you can get glowing stickers, accessories, fidget toys, squishmallows, etc. If you're invinting their friends over it could be a great activity as well.
