When it comes to creative and fun for kids, this adorable Alphabet Handprint Craft is the best. This printable alphabet activity is great for early learners as well as preschool-aged children who love messy play! Have fun learning all the letters A to Z with these adorable Alphabet Handprint Crafts for Toddlers.

When the kids are little, it’s fun to find creative activities and crafts to do with them. And let’s be honest, the kids will be super pumped to dip their little hands in paint and be a part of creating the alphabet sitting right next to you.

The really fun part about this handprint activity is that every page focuses on a letter of the alphabet. (and has a super cute and fun saying to go along with it!)

How do you keep the paint from staining kids hands?

Some paint will stain hands and sometimes, there isn’t anything that you can do about it. Instead of acrylic paint, the BEST way to keep the paint from staining their hands is to use a washable paint (like this low-cost set.)

You can also add a tad bit of lotion on their hands and have them rub it in before dipping their hands in the paint. This is a great way to add an extra barrier to their skin and can help avoid having stained hands for weeks!

Why are handprint crafts important?

I get it – I’m a parent and I know that thoughts that surround messy play. But, in my mind, messy play is great for creative play, imaginative play, and fine motor skills as well. In addition to working on fine motor skills and creativity, hand and fingerprint art leaves a piece of history behind. It captures tiny hands on a certain date and year so you can look back and ask yourself through nostalgia “how did they grow so fast?!”

Since each printable letter of the alphabet has a space for the kids to dip their hands in paint and be a part of the process, this will also keep them engaged during the entire alphabet activity. That is HUGE for little kids!

Super Adorable Alphabet Handprint Craft

Are you ready and excited to print out this activity and get started? Keep in mind that the kids can go at their own pace and don’t have to complete the entire alphabet in one sitting! But if they want to keep going – let them!

Many of these supplies are ones that you’ll probably already have at home. If you’re like me, you may have a special craft section in your house that you keep stocked with options at all times!

What tare the benefits of Alphabet Art Activities?

By incorporating artwork into alphabet letters you are promoting early literacy bringing auditory learning to kinetic learning. The child had heard the letter, visualized the letter and how they are working with their hands to further imprint (pun intended) the letter into their memory bank.

These handprint artwork activities promote…

aids in early reading
develops vocabulary
helps with letter recognition
connects how printed text is associated with the spoken language
promotes sound recognition (when verbal instruction is incorporated)
supports the development of cognitive, social-emotional and multisensory skills

100 Truth or Dare Questions for Kids

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

July 28, 2022 by Thena Reading-Franssen Filed Under: Birthday, Facebook, Games, Instagram, Party, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media Leave a Comment

These Truth or Dare Questions for Kids are sure to be the hit of the party! With 50 funny truth questions and 50 questions for dares, it’s the perfect balance of both! Not only is this a clean and family-friendly version of truth or dare, but this printable truth or dare card game makes for perfect fun at sleepovers, birthday parties, and even family game night, too! These fun truth or dare printable questions are going to bring loads of laughs and forever memories!

I remember all the hours of fun that I spent with my family and friends playing truth or dare growing up. The questions were silly and fun, and they literally still bring a smile to my face when I think about them. This is why these 100 Clean Truth or Dare Questions are a MUST for any type of party with friends!

You can easily print out these questions and use them as a fun ice breaker during a sleepover or challenge the kids to step outside their comfort zone and try a few of the fun dares. Just be ready – you may find yourself getting pulled in to join the fun! Get your truths ready and live up to the challenge of the dares!

How do you play Truth or Dare?

The rules for truth or dare are plain and simple. The person whose turn it is to pick someone simply chooses someone who is playing and asks them, “Truth or Dare?” It’s totally up to the person being asked what they choose. (although most people in the room will be screaming for them to choose dare!)

If truth is chosen, a truth question is read from the printable card, and the person being asked must tell the truth. If a dare is selected, a dare is picked, and the person then has to do whatever is on the card.

The rules are simple. However, you can twist up the game with a few game variations including…

Have players alternate questions between truth and dare
Is your crew likely to chicken out of a dare, pick two dare cards at a tie and choose one. The discarded card goes back to the pile.
Use your blank template and print as many times as you want. Personalize the game by entering and adding your own questions to the pile. Stay within the rule – keep it clean!

But don’t worry, parents – it’s all in clean fun! Be sure to establish those rules early on.

More Fun Sleepover Games

Remember that truth or date is just one of the sleepover parties that are always a hit. If you are looking for more sleepover ideas, take a look at these popular slumber party games including:

When it comes to having fun at parties, you can never go wrong with these Sleepover Ideas for the Girls to enjoy!

Good Truth or Dare Questions to Ask

With an equal balance of good truth questions to funny dare questions, it’s going to be quite the fun game! You’ll soon find out if you have a house full of daredevils or ones that prefer to sit and talk instead! See a sneak peek below at some of these good truth or dare questions to ask so that you know what to expect from your printable cards!

A few of the truths included are:

What is your favorite summertime memory?
Which movie character would be your perfect best friend?
What subject is your least favorite?
What is your signature dance move?
What is something you are afraid of?
What’s your favorite holiday tradition?

A few of the dares included are:

Eat a spoonful of salt and sugar (or pepper) mixed together.
Go outside and do the chicken dance.
Get wrapped from head to toe in toilet paper.
Put on as many shirts as possible.
Go outside and yell “Merry Christmas!”
Let the person beside you brush your teeth.

In this Truth or Dare Card Game bundle, we also included a blank template. Use your own cards to write some personal questions that would not be fitting for the entire population. Consider questions including…

Who is your crush at school?
What’s your biggest pet peeve of someone in this room?
What’s the most embarrassing thing that happened to you that no one knows?
What is your strangest dream?
Put a cookie on your forehead and eat it without using your hands.
What’s the worst thing that happened to you at school?

Who are these Truth or Dare Questions for?

These clean questions are perfect for all ages and can really be adapted to a happy birthday party, a family game night, or an ice breaker adult party.

Tweens: Youth will have a blast challenging their bravery with all these silly dares. They’ll love having a balance between truth and dares that they can go back and forth with.

Teens: The teens may never admit that they had fun, but they will! Mom, just have them hide the phones so that there aren’t any incriminating photos put out there on the web!

Adults: These printable cards would be fun for adults, too. They’re great for a family game or as an ice breaker during a family reunion. You’re never too old for truth or dare!

Be sure to agree that all secrets stay in the room!

Printable Lemonade Stand Signs

Do your kiddos dream about running their own business? With the warmer months here, these printable Lemonade Stand Signs can easily make their entrepreneur dreams come true! They’re also super fun for pretend play at home, also! These printables are perfect for spurring the creation of all their lemonade stand ideas!

Doesn’t every child dream of running their own lemonade stand? It’s one of those outdoor activities that show they’re capable, ambitious, and creative – all at once! These printable lemonade stand signs are a super fast and easy way for the kids to create their very own summer business idea easily and with minimal effort.

These printable lemonade signs are brightly colored and sure to catch the eye of anyone who happens to be driving or walking by. All that is left is for the kids to make homemade lemonade, grab a few supplies, and set a price point for what they’re going to be selling it for.

The lemonade stand banner is perfect for hanging in front of the table, and they can even keep track of every glass sold with the printable tracker page, too! Talk about a way to get their minds working during the summer months!

This lemonade printable packet is perfect for teaching them lifelong skills revolving around customer service and learning how to earn money. And if you need stellar lemonade recipes, check out my Copycat Chick-fil-A Lemonade Recipe and Pink Lemonade Recipe.

How much does a lemonade stand cost?

Lemonade stands are not cheap plus they take up lots of storage. If you purchase a lemonade stand, you likely will be paying more than the revenue you end up making in your sales. Lemonade stands start at around $50 and can go all the way up to $400 if you get a custom lemonade stand on Etsy.

Alternatively, you can make your own DIY Lemonade Stand using an upcycled wooden pallet. You can also purchase a cute lemonade stand table cover you can quickly toss in the wash at the end of your event.

Where is a good place to set up a lemonade stand?

It’s all about visibility! Anywhere where there is good foot traffic or cars that are driving by is a great place to set up the stand. Just be sure that you’re in an area where it’s safe for the kids and that they’re away from the side of the road and traffic.

Another great idea for a lemonade stand is to have it at the end of your driveway or in your front yard. That way, it’s off the road but still visible to everyone who is passing by.

More Fun Activities and Ideas

No matter if the kids are using this to set up a real lemonade stand or to set up an area in the house for pretend and play, here are some other fun learning activities and ideas for them to do:

Who are these lemonade stand sign printables for?

These printables are great for kids of all ages! Younger ones can use them for imaginative play inside the home, and older kids can use them to set up a lemonade shop outside.

Tips for Printing These Printable Lemonade Stand Signs

Since there will be many opportunities throughout the summer months and year to use these lemon stand printables, why not laminate them so that they last?

The kids can help with the laminating process and also use their cutting skills to cut them out, too. It can be a fun family team effort to put together everything needed.

Don’t forget that they can always add their own works of art to the signs as well! Handmade signs are always popular in drawing in more customers, too!

Supplies

Lemonade Stand Printables
Printer
Paper
Laminator (I really like the Scotch brand but Amazon has a good one too.)

Don’t forget that if you’re making a real lemonade stand, then you’ll need to gather up the ingredients to make and serve lemonade as well!

Dramatic Pretend Play Restaurant Printables

The kids will have a blast with these Pretend Play Restaurant Printables! They can now work on their customer service skills by inviting you right into their own restaurant! Perfect for creative play and a fun way to spend some time engaging with your little one. These fun dramatic play restaurant printables are perfect for all ages and are a great way to use their imagination as well!

I remember when I was little, and I was always creating fun scenes and jobs in my head. One of the creative games that I played over and over again was that I was working at the grocery store! There’s just something so fun about pretending to scan items and help out the customers, and this is what stemmed the idea to make these super fun kids play restaurant printables.

These pretend play restaurant ideas are easy to print, which means that the kids can start creating their own restaurant area in the house (or outside!) right away. This fun and interactive game would also be great for a sleepover or a super cute addition to any playroom as well.

What are fun ways to use these pretend play restaurant printables?

This is where the fun starts! Once everything is printed off, your little one can create their own restaurant as they see fit. You get to be the customer and choose food items from the printable menu and wait for your play food to arrive! The restaurant menu promotes literacy as each item not only has visual representation but is spelled out too.

If you have a cute play kitchen or a table that you can pair up with these dramtic play printables, that just adds to the ambiance and fun.

After the meal is served, your child will create the guest check for you to pay for everything you’ve eaten. Use this kit as a time to work on math while counting out the correct amount of money – and just a great way to open up the lines of communication.

You can even add your own silverware and dishes and lay on top of the provided table setting. If you have a play kitchen with plastic food, incorporate some of those 3-D food and restaurant items too. The great thing about creative and pretend play is that there are opportunities for learning fun throughout the whole time!

More Pretend Play Fun and Activities

Why stop with just one dramatic play idea? Here are some other great dramatic play activities and games that the kids will love as well:

Who are these Pretend Play Restaurant printables for?

They’re for anyone who likes to pretend! These would be super cute to have as a birthday party theme as well – and are great for sleepovers or family nights at home.

Toddler/Preschoolers: Early learners will love being able to find their independence in running their own restaurant. This can help them build confidence and learn how to be a big helper, too! Let the creativity go wild. Use for at home pretend play or laminate and use in a preschool classroom set up for a dramatic play center. Add a Melissa & Doug waiter or waitress costume with apron or chef’s hat.

Older kids: Even though these restaurant printable pretend play items are geared toward younger kids, this is where the older kids can have fun being “served” and ordering! Have them sit at the table and see what type of treats and food that they’ll get from their younger siblings. You never know what hilariousness will ensure!

Adults: Interactive play is the best type of play. Sit down and enjoy this time with your little ones. They’ll love that they have your full attention, and you’ll love seeing them take charge and play! This is also excellent for preschool teachers when setting up a classroom. Adults can use this as play prep before going on an adventure to a real restaurant setting.

Tips for Printing These Free Printable Restaurant Ideas

The biggest tip that I have is to laminate the printables once you print and cut them out. This will keep them from getting torn or ripped, and the kids will be able to use them over and over again.

We also keep the restaurant printables and props in an airtight storage container so that the kids can grab it and have everything that they need when it’s time to play restaurant!

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

August 30, 2022 by Thena Reading-Franssen Filed Under: Facebook, Games, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Summer, Travel Leave a Comment

Seventeen super fun beach games for kids and adults. This Beach Games List PDF gives you everything you need to have fun on the beach. Use for family outings, a day trip to the beach, a fun birthday celebration, or a simple way to spend time by the water. All these beach activities are age-appropriate from youth to adults.

It’s time to stop spending time on the beach laying out and do something fun and active instead. These best beach games are so much fun. Once you get started, you’ll find yourself excited to work your way down the list. These games are great for parties on the beach and are a great way to hang out and unwind.

How do you make a beach day fun?

Being at the beach is fun in itself but there are always wants to amp up the fun. With the beach providing the perfect setting for having “fun in the sand and sun“, why not use all that open space to create some fun memories playing games? Just be ready for everyone at the beach to want to join in on the fun.

If you are looking for a list of the best beach activities, try some of the following.

Sand Angels: Make sand angels – use seaweed, shells and other beach items to decorate her face
Sand Castle: Split into teams and have a sand castle contest. Teammates will try to build the most attractive or largest sandcastles around.
Beach Volleyball: Play beach volleyball. Use a volleyball net or draw a line in the sand near the water’s edge.
Ball Games: Play classic and new ball games like bucket ball, bocce ball, paddle ball, spike ball, or beer pong for the adults (totally counts, right?)
Tug of War: Another classic game perfectly played in the sand. Twist it up and add a trench in the middle filled with water. See which team is the strongest!
Baseball at Sunset: Grab your mitt and play the most beloved game in America. You could even play with a tennis ball for added distance.

Of course we find beach games are a perfect way to create memories, break the ice and bond.

The great part about setting up beach party games is that it’s not a hard process at all. Most of these games require minimal prep and effort and need just a few easy supplies. They might all fit in your beach bag for easy toting. Before you know it, there will be friendly competition happening all around.

17 Fun and Exciting Beach Games to Play!

Have fun going through the great beach games listed below. They’re easy and fun and perfect for kids of all ages. These beach activities are a must have and as you will see they are really fun. Plenty of laughter included. Be sure to include sunscreen because they are so distracting, you might forget to take a break and add an extra layer.

Beach Theme Scavenger Hunt

With so many cool things to see on the beach, this beach treasure hunt is certain to be a blast. Just create a list of treasures, split into two teams, and see who can find all the items first. Make certain that you add some fun and wacky things that you’d only be able to find on the beach.

Supplies: paper, pencil, beach scavenger hunt list

Mini Golf

You don’t need a golf course to play golf. Just bring a few clubs from home (or pick up some cheap ones at a second-hand store) and make the beach be your course. Dig a hole in the sand and put or put a few cups out to try and hit the balls into. Use your creativity to play just like a real round of golf where the person with the lowest swings wins.

Supplies: cups, golf ball, golf clubs

Squirt Ball Relay

The quicker you are here, the better. Grab a blown-up beach ball and a squirt gun full of water and see who can use the water from the squirt gun to push the ball across the sand to the finish line. Don’t worry, you’ll more than likely run out of water and have to run to the water and fill up during this time!

Supplies: beach ball, water gun

Beach Towel Parachute

The concept of this game is fun and addicting. Have a beach ball in the middle of a beach towel. Have two people hold the tall and use it to bounce the beach ball up and down. The more bounces, the better because if it hits the ground, you have to start counting all over again.

Supplies: beach ball, beach towel

Musical Towels

The same rules apply here as musical chairs but you use towels instead. Lay the towels out on the sand, have the music playing, and let everyone walk around and do their best to scramble to a towel once the music stops!

Supplies; beach towels, radio/music player

Beach Bowling

Put those empty water bottles to good use. Line them up in the sand and then use a ping pong ball and try to knock them down. Can you do a strike? Only time will tell!

Supplies: empty water bottles

Shell Shuffle

Who can balance the shell the best? All you need to do is balance dry sand on a spoon and place a shell on top and the race is on. Who can carry the shell back and forth the quickest without it falling off?

Supplies: shells, sand, spoons

Hole Sand Hole

If you’ve ever played cornhole, you’re going to have a leg up on this game. Start by digging five holes into the sand and make certain to give them a bit of space in the sand as well. Use a ball and do your best to fit the ball into the holes so start racking up the points.

Supplies: balls

Flick n Sticks

This game is fast and fun to set up! All you need are 4 sticks/stakes, 4 cups (2 pairs of the same color), and a frisbee. Put the stakes in the sand several feet apart from one another. (You can decide the distance and can easily shorten or lengthen it as needed.) Split into teams of 2 and have each team stand at a stake. Take turns tossing the frisbee back and forth with the main goal of getting points. Points are earned by throwing the frisbee in between the 2 stakes and extra points are also earned for knocking the cup off the stakes as well.

Supplies: stakes/sticks, cups, frisbee

Frisbee Golf

Who says you need a frisbee golf course? Just set out some fun beach items and use your frisbee to toss and get as close as you possibly can. The one who throws the flying disc closest wins that “hole”.

Supplies: beach items, frisbee

Water Bucket Relay

Such a fun water challenge to play! Grab a cup and a couple of buckets and get geared up. Each person takes the empty cup, runs and gets water in it, then takes that cup of water and runs to the empty bucket to fill it up. The first person or team to fill their bucket wins!

Supplies: plastic cups, buckets

Beach Blow

It’s time to get down on your hands and knees and dig! Take a spoon or a small shovel and dig out a path. Then drop a ping pong ball into the groves, grab a straw, and blow your air through the straw to move the ping pong ball down the path. If you don’t want to dig two paths for competition, just set a timer and see who can complete it the fastest.

Supplies: spoon/small shovel, straw, ping pong ball

Hot Potato

Since you’re on the beach it just makes sense to pass around a beach ball instead of a potato, right? Have everyone sit in a circle and start passing the ball around while the music is playing. Be quick and careful with your passes as the person who is holding the beach ball when the music stops is out of the game.

Supplies: beach ball, music player

Sponge Relay

Just how much water does a sponge really hold? You’re about to find out. Have sponges in a bucket of water at the start line, and an empty bowl at the finish line. Once “go” is said, each person then has to grab a soaked sponge, sprint down to the empty bucket, squeeze out the water, then head back to do it all over again. The team who fills the empty bowl overflowing with water first wins!

Supplies: sponges, bowls

Beach Ball Relay

Air up those beach balls and get ready to run. Have each team line up, one behind each other, and get ready. The first person grabs the ball, sprints to the other end of the beach, and then sprints back to hand off to the next person in their relay line. The kicker? If the ball gets dropped at any point in time, they have to start over and do it again!

Supplies: beach balls

Pass the Water

Do you have what it takes to not spill a drop? Have teams line up in a row and give the first person in line a cup of water. Once “go” is said, the person holding the water cup full of water has to hold the cup over their hand and pour out the water into the empty cup of the person behind them. Do this until the entire team has done it and then see what team has the most water in the final cup!

Supplies: cups

Wet Shirt Relay

Line up the teams and get ready to “wring” out some fun. Have a bucket with a t-shirt in it, ready to go. The first person in line grabs the wet shirt and sprints across the beach to an empty bucket or bowl, waiting to be filled. The person wrings all the water out of the shirt and then takes the shirt back to the next person in line who starts the process again. The first team to fill the bucket with water wins!

Supplies: beach bucket or bowl, T-shirts

Starbucks Chocolate Bomb

Calling all Starbucks fans! You’re not going to want to miss out on this Starbucks Chocolate Bomb recipe! Why spend a ton at the store when you can make them at home for a fraction of the cost? With just six simple ingredients needed, you can’t go wrong with this easy and delicious treat.

STARBUCKS CHOCOLATE BOMB

I’m a huge fan of literally anything with the words chocolate and Starbucks. But combined? I’m over-the-moon crazy about this simple treat. So much so that I find myself making this easy hot cocoa bomb recipe all year long.

Because why wouldn’t you want to have a treat that is all your own? I love Starbucks and being able to have a bit of “me” time and make something that I don’t have to share. (don’t judge me – I literally share everything else all the time!)

The other really great thing about this simple hot chocolate bomb is that it’s an awesome gift idea, too. Make these up for a family member, friend, teacher, or coach. Use these fun “Thanks a Latte” gift tags as a way to spruce up the gift and complete the look!

HOW DO YOU USE HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS?

There are a couple of different ways that you can use them. I prefer to put them in the bottom of my mug and cover them with warm milk, but some people use hot water instead. (I think it’s to cut down on the fat content but in my opinion, the milk adds a much-needed and delicious sweetness!)

HOW DO YOU STORE HOT COCOA BOMBS?

They’re actually quite shelf-stable! You can put them in a container with a lid and store them for a few weeks without worry. Although I highly doubt that they’d hang around that long, waiting to be enjoyed.

WHERE TO BUY HOT COCOA BOMBS

While I highly suggest making them homemade, you can also buy them to save time, too. Some of the best places that I recommend buying hot chocolate bombs are:

HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS AMAZON

HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS ALDI

HOT COCOA BOMBS COSTCO

HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS WALMART

HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS TARGET

ETSY HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS

All are going to be different flavors and looks so you’ll have a ton of great choices to choose from.

For even more awesome DIY hot chocolate bombs, don’t miss out on this massive Chocolate Bombs list!

Starbucks Hot Cocoa Bombs

Bring the flavor of your favorite coffee barista to your home with these delicious easy to make Starbucks Hot Chocolate Bombs.

Description

You’re going to love the flavor of this simple hot cocoa bomb recipe!

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups Chocolate Candy Melts
2 cups Hot Chocolate Mix
2 cups Mini Marshmallows (I used green ones)
¼ cup Starbucks-Colored Sprinkles Mix
1 cup TAZO Chai Tea Latte Concentrate
½ cup White Chocolate Candy Melts

Instructions

Put the candy melts into a bowl that is microwave-safe and melt according to the directions on the package.
Put 1 T of the candy melt into one side of the mold. Press the melted chocolate up the sides and keep it nice and thick. Do this for all 12 molds.
Put the molds in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Take them out of the freeze and peel the mold away to get the chocolate out.
Put 1 T of hot chocolate mix and 1 tsp of chai tea into 6 of the molds. Give the tea time to soak in the hot chocolate mix for about 2-3 minutes.
Put in some sprinkle and up to 8 marshmallows.
Put a plate in the microwave and warm until the surface is warm to the touch.
Take one of the empty chocolate bombs and put the open side down gently on the warm plate for up to 10 seconds. You’re wanting to melt the rim just a little bit.
Once melted, take and put it on top of one of the filled halves. This connects the two and creates the circle.
Melt the white candy melts the same way that you did the chocolate ones.
Using a fork, drizzle the melted white melts over the top of the cocoa bombs and add on more sprinkles.
Put them in the freezer for 5 minutes.
To use, pour over 2 cups of warm milk, stir, and enjoy!

The natural flavor of the cocoa mix and chai tea are something wonderful!

Now that you’ve made your very own Starbucks Copycat Hot Cocoa Bomb, how about comparing it to how your favorite barista prepares it?

Are you kids wanting to get a letter to the big guy himself? This printable Letter to Santa Template is perfect! Use this letter to Santa template to print and get in the mail!

Kids of all ages still believe in the magic of Christmas. There’s no denying that the desire to write a letter to Santa truly never goes away. This is why this letter to Santa template PDF is the best! It fills in all the details that aren’t fun for the kids to write and leave the space for them to customize it as they see fit!

Will they admit to Santa that they’ve been a bit naughty this year or are they going to hold firm to their truth that they’ve been good? This Christmas letter to Santa template is great to print out for all the kids to complete on their own!

You can print out this letter to Santa template in black and white to save on ink or full color – totally up to you. Hand it out to the kids and have them start the writing process. More than likely, they know exactly what they want to write to Santa and will be done before you know it!

Silly Ways To Talk about the Naughty and Nice List

The holidays are always a ton of fun but some kids might actually be a bit confused about if they’re on the naughty or the Santa’s nice list. To help them feel better, why not have a conversation?

Kids know what it’s like to be nice and how to be nice, but the word “naughty” might make them feel a bit anxious or stressed. Letting them know what Santa knows that all kids are good kids is important and that sometimes, kids being “naughty” means that they’re just being part of a fun joke that Santa likes to talk about each year.

This is a great way to have the younger kids not feel as though they’re “bad” or are being punished but helps them to realize that being “good” is something that really should be the focus for the whole year long instead.

Keep the explanation simple and light and merry and help them know that no matter what list they’re on for the holidays, they’re perfect in your eyes!
