Here’s a fun activity that will have your child playing for hours this holiday season and practicing their sight words again and again.

Before you start bring meaning to the stockings for the holiday season by reading a special book about Christmas Stockings called Legend of the Christmas Stocking by Rick Osborne.

4. Encourage your child to glue the hanging paper onto the stocking and then encourage them to glue the paper strip on top of it to help it stay in place.
