Snowman Candle Holder Craft

by

Winter is a magical season that provides ample opportunities for creativity, especially when it comes to crafting with your children. If you’re looking for a cute and easy project to do with your kids, then consider making this snowman candle holder using a bubble bowl.

This craft involves painting the bubble bowl with a frosty white paint to create the body of the snowman. Once the paint has dried, you can add a polymer clay nose and paint a black face on the bowl to give it character. Then, top off your snowman candle holder with a wire mesh hat to complete the look.

This fun and simple winter craft is perfect for kids of all ages and can be a great way to spend quality time together while also encouraging creativity and imagination. The snowman candle holder can be used to decorate your home, adding a festive touch to any room during the winter season.

Crafts for All Seasons offers a detailed tutorial on how to create this snowman candle holder, complete with step-by-step instructions and helpful tips to make the project go smoothly. With just a few basic supplies and a little bit of time, you and your children can create a charming winter decoration that is sure to bring joy to your family and friends. So gather your materials, get the kids involved, and let the crafting begin!

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.
