The Real Christmas is a free resource that I’ve created as an easy way to work Speech and Language, reading, logical thinking, memory, pre-writing and writing, fine motor skills, history while giving you the opportunity to teach them why we celebrate Christmas from the Christian faith.
This resource although can be used really for every child was created thinking mostly for Special Needs Education like Down Syndrome, Autism, etc
Parents can use it at home or therapists, I would say this can be for different ages depending where the child is in his development.
I created this from scratch drawing the main characters myself and enjoyed it as I will use it too, and is not easy to find resources that are made to support the SEN in particular and, from a Christian perspective.
I hope it meets the needs of your children and that you both enjoy.
Marry Christmas!!
