by

Ginger Snap Crafts made an adorable set of frosted luminaries for this holiday season. Check out the tutorial.

The holiday season is a time for family, friends, and cozy nights spent indoors. One way to make your home feel extra special during this time is by incorporating festive decorations that add warmth and a touch of magic to your space. Ginger Snap Crafts has done just that with their adorable set of frosted luminaries. These luminaries are a perfect addition to your holiday decor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for enjoying those long winter nights.

The best part about these luminaries is that they are incredibly easy to make. You don’t need any special skills or expensive materials, and the end result is stunning. In just a few simple steps, you can create a set of luminaries that will add a cozy touch to any room in your home.

The tutorial for making these frosted luminaries is easy to follow and includes all the materials you’ll need to get started. You’ll need glass jars, frosted glass spray, stencils, and tea light candles. The process involves applying the stencils to the jars, spraying the frosted glass spray over the stencils, letting it dry, and then removing the stencils to reveal the design. The final step is to add the tea light candles to the jars and watch as the warm glow of the candles illuminates the designs.

These frosted luminaries are not only a beautiful addition to your holiday decor, but they also make great gifts for family and friends. You can customize the designs to suit different preferences, making them a thoughtful and personalized gift. They are also a fun activity to do with children, as they will love seeing the designs come to life.

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.
