Floating Christmas Candle Ideas

by

With the holiday season fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about how you can add a festive touch to your home. One way to do this is by creating beautiful floating Christmas candle centerpieces. These centerpieces not only add a warm and inviting atmosphere to your home, but they also provide a stunning focal point for your holiday decor.

The first floating Christmas candle centerpiece idea is a Christmas jar with a floating candle. This is a simple yet charming idea that would fit perfectly into a cozy cottage atmosphere. To create this centerpiece, all you need is a glass jar, some fresh greenery, cranberries, and a floating candle. You can add a touch of personalization by tying a festive ribbon around the jar. I discovered this idea while browsing Be Different Act Normal, and it immediately caught my eye due to its comforting feel.

Another floating Christmas candle centerpiece idea is to use a sleek container with lemon slices floating in the bottom. This idea was found thanks to Allison at My Cozy Home. The contrast between the cranberries, greenery, and lemon slices gives this centerpiece a unique and fresh look. It’s a great way to add a touch of brightness to your holiday decor.

If you’re looking to add a little glamour to your floating Christmas candle centerpiece, you can consider adding gold glitter, confetti, or small Christmas ornaments to the mix. These additions will give your centerpiece a touch of elegance and sparkle. You can also add some personal touches, like using your favorite colored candles or incorporating your favorite holiday scents.

In conclusion, creating your own floating Christmas candle centerpieces is an excellent way to add a touch of warmth and holiday cheer to your home. These ideas are simple, affordable, and easy to customize. Whether you prefer a cozy cottage atmosphere or a touch of glamour, there is a floating Christmas candle centerpiece that will fit your style. So get creative and start creating your own unique centerpieces that will leave a lasting impression on your guests!

I discovered it after looking around at Be Different Act Normal.

Here’s a similar idea, only the container’s a little sleeker and there are lemon slices floating in the bottom.

I love the contrast of the cranberries and greenery against the added yellow! I found this thanks to Allison at My Cozy Home.

If you wanted a little glamor, gold glitter, confetti or small Christmas ornaments might add a nice touch.

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.
