December Morning Menu

The December Morning Menu is a 185-page digital resource designed to bring calm, connection, and intention to your mornings through a month of screen-free, December-themed activities for preschool and early-elementary learners. Filled with simple learning prompts, seasonal affirmations, gentle movement, and meaningful tasks, this guide helps children ease into the day with focus and confidence while giving parents a few extra minutes to reset, prepare, or enjoy their coffee.

Why It Works for Families:
Created by a former elementary teacher and mom of three, this resource has been tested and refined at the family table to fit the needs of busy households. The seasonal December themes keep kids excited, while the reusable format makes it easy to swap and rotate pages for ongoing variety. With quick prep and simple supplies, the Morning Menu builds structure, independence, and confidence for kids—while giving parents the gift of a smoother start to the day.

How to Use It:
Getting started is simple! Print the pages and slide them into a restaurant-style menu cover or laminate them for durability and reuse. The activities are color-coded by difficulty, so you can easily choose pages that match your child’s developmental level. Rotate pages regularly—swapping even one or two every few days—to keep things fresh and exciting, much like rotating toys. This small change sparks curiosity, prevents boredom, and helps your child look forward to their Morning Menu each day.

About the Creator:
As both a former elementary school teacher and a mom of three little girls, I know firsthand how hectic mornings with young kids can feel. I created the Morning Menu series to bring calm, structure, and joy to our mornings—and now I’m sharing it with other families who want the same. Each activity has been tested at our own learning table, refined to fit into real-life routines, and designed to spark curiosity while keeping kids engaged and independent.
