I am happy to be back in your inbox this week with even more holiday events for families in New Iberia, Abbeville, Breaux Bridge and Morgan City. With Christmas break quickly approaching, many parents are searching for activities and events to enjoy with their kids while they are home. As always, you can stay connected to our event calendar and newsletter for details on family fun in our area. Also, make sure to check with our local libraries for fun events this month as they always hold free activities for the kids to enjoy.
Make sure to check our 2024 Holiday Family Fun Guide for updates and additions to the activities happening this December. More than likely, I'll have a few more to add to our guide even after this week's newsletter is released.
Crafts at home are always fun, so we have one from last year that we absolutely loved. These Holiday Penguins Make the Christmas Season Fun for the Whole Family. The kids will be creatively entertained and enjoy creating penguins and polar bears to create their own winter wonderland at home.
Many parents search for ways to keep the spirit of Christmas and the holiday magic alive once their kids begin to get older.
