DIY Cookie Cutter Candles

I know we have featured the cookie cutter candle before and especially at Christmas time but I fell in love with this image.

The holiday season is a great time to indulge in some fun and creative DIY projects. One such project that has gained popularity over the years is making cookie cutter candles. It’s an affordable way to add a personal touch to your holiday decor and also makes for a great handmade gift idea.

While we’ve featured cookie cutter candles before, the snowflake candle in particular caught my eye. The level of detail on the snowflake design is exquisite and would make for a beautiful addition to any winter-themed display. I can only imagine how it would look when lit, casting a warm and cozy glow.

The best part about making these candles is that they are incredibly easy to create. With just a few basic supplies and some creativity, anyone can make a beautiful and fragrant candle. You can customize the scent and color of your candle to match your holiday decor, or to suit the preferences of your recipient if you plan to give it as a gift.

If you’re new to candle making, don’t worry – the tutorial for making the snowflake cookie cutter candle is easy to follow, even for beginners. It’s a great way to get started and experiment with different shapes and designs.

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.
