Sniff Pet Candles Offer Aromatherapy for Dogs

by

Jenn Mohr combined her love of candles and dogs by creating an aromatherapy candle line for dogs called Sniff Pet Candles.

Apparently the candles will “promote your dog’s optimum health and well-being”. They’re made with all natural ingredients like essential oils, soy wax, beeswax and palm wax.

Also, a portion of the sales from Sniff Pet Candles goes to a coalition of animal rescue groups that help reduce the number of homeless animals.

Some of the Scents from Sniff Pet Candles

“Fart & Away” contains floral ylang ylang, tuberose, white tea, myrtle and fennel. It’s supposed to ease a dog’s gassy condition as well as help cover up the scent. “Splendor in the Grass” will give your dog sweet dreams of past walks in the park and is scented like fresh cut grass, hay and cedar wood trees.

I’m just glad that there aren’t other less appealing smells that only dogs seem to like. The sorts of scents from Sniff Pet Candles seem like compromises so that both dog owners and pets are happy.

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.
