8 DIY Photo Backdrop Ideas

by

Before we get into the list that we have compiled for you, here are some generic photo ideas

Natural backdrops: Use natural elements like trees, flowers, or a picturesque landscape as a backdrop for your photos. This can add a sense of depth and beauty to your photos, and can be great for outdoor photography.

Solid colored backdrops: Simple solid colored backgrounds like white, black, or gray can add a clean and modern look to your photos. These backgrounds are also great for highlighting the subject of the photo, and can be used to create high-contrast images.

Textured backdrops: Use textured materials like burlap, wood, or brick to add depth and interest to your photos. These types of backdrops can be great for creating a rustic or vintage look.

Patterned backdrops: Use patterned fabrics or wallpapers as backdrops for your photos. This can add visual interest and can also be used to create a specific theme or mood.

DIY backdrops: Get creative and make your own backdrops using materials you have at home. This can be a fun and budget-friendly way to add a unique touch to your photos.

Studio backdrops: Hire a studio space and use professional backdrops for your photos. This can be a great option for portrait or product photography, and can provide a controlled environment for your photography.

Street backdrops: Use urban landscapes or city streets as backdrops for your photos. This can add a sense of energy and movement to your photos, and can be great for street photography.

Abstract backdrops: Use abstract backgrounds like bokeh, smoke, or water droplets to add a unique and creative touch to your photos. This can be a great way to experiment with different styles and effects.

Overall, there are many different types of backdrops that you can use to add character and interest to your photos. By experimenting with different backdrops, you can find the perfect one to suit your needs, and can create unique and creative photos that stand out.

Hanukkah Unit Studies for Kids

Learning about Hanukkah is important for people of all faiths as a reminder that December isn’t just about Christmas and that their are many other important holidays that happen during this time. Hanukkah unit studies can give you ideas for incorporating the holiday into your holiday studies that happen in December, or to use at home for learning about people of different faiths.

Homeschool Superfreak has a lot of basic ideas for how to build a Hanukkah unit study, as well as FAQs about what Hanukkah is and why it is celebrated. This list is a good stargint point but doesn’t include all the details you’ll need. For example it says you can play the dreidel game but doesn’t explain how to do that or why it’s important. (If you need that information, this post from Mama Smiles is a good source.)

Teachers Pay Teachers has lots of great lesson plans and activities if you’re willing to pay a little bit to get some good content. Two I really like are this Hanukkah PowerPoint presentation from Shelia Melton, which provides a good overview of traditions, food and the history of Hanukkah; and a virtual field trip to Jerusalem from MagiCore, which includes lots of videos showing the city and activities like playing dreidel, drawing a menorah and making latkes. It’s a Google Drive folder and also includes writing activities and more for kids in second to fifth grade.

Kids Activities Blog has some simple printables with facts about Hanukkah and things kids can color in like a Star of David, sufganiyots (jelly doughnuts) and a menorah. These are great for learning the basics.

Homeschool Giveaways has a printable ebook about Hanukkah complete with questions kids can answer after they read. This would be a good one for older kids with good reading comprehension.

NurtureStore’s Hanukkah unit study includes a printable mini book, tons of crafts, as well as math and writing activities. I love the dominoes game that’s part of the unit.
