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.

Tropical Bird Crafts and Learning Activities

I don’t know why tropical animals feel like something you should learn about in the summer, because these tropical bird crafts and activities are great to do any time of year. Let’s take a look. 

Homeschool Giveaways has a printable tropical birds copywork book kids can use to practice cursive or print writing. They also have links to more fun printable activities, mostly about parrots, toucans and cockatoos.

Homeschool Share has a printable lapbook all about parrots. This one is a lot of fun because it includes things like the pros and cons of owning a pet parrot and some parrot jokes alongside information about where parrots live, why they have hooked beaks and their lifespan, among other things. 

Use colorful bird puzzles to reinforce number order with this free printable puzzle collection from Craft Play Learn. It includes five different bird puzzles that are each eight pieces. 

And if you want to look at toucans in particular, check out this toucan study guide aimed at elementary students from Tina’s Dynamic Homeschool Plus. This isn’t a free resource but it’s 31 pages all about toucans, their life cycle, anatomy, what they eat, role in the rainforest ecosystem, activities and more well worth the cost. 

How about some tropical bird crafts? This 3D macaw parrot from The Craft Train is a great one, also not free but super cute and easy to make with the printables. 

I Heart Crafty Things has a super cute parrot made with cardboard and card stock. If you hang it from the ceiling it will even spin.

Or try the cute cardboard tube parrots from Kids Craft Room, which kids will love to decorate (you could even use feathers if you have some). You can also make a parrot (or whatever other tropical bird you like) from a paper plate with these instructions from Crafts on Sea.
