Hi %recipient.firstname%,
Do you celebrate Saint-Nicholas Day (Decembre 6th) ? When I lived in Belgium, it was a big celebration for kids. I think it was high time I created a project for that occasion.
Here is how to make a little Saint Nicholas hat (called a mitre). You can use it to wrap candies or chocolates, or you can use it as a napkin ring.
We like to promote reading among children, and this year we focus on books written by Canadian authors. We were delighted to get a hold of an interview of Jean-François Faucher, author of the Slush the Elf books. Read the interview on our blog and find out about the free group reading kit for use in a classroom!
Are you already thinking about Christmas preparations? Gifts and ornaments that you make yourself are so much more valuable!
Here is a rocking horse that uses the structure of the paper plates to represent the body of the horse.
The project guide contains patterns for 4 different sizes of paper plates, allowing you to make rocking horses between about 5 and 10 inches tall. If you are going to make a Christmas ornament, choose a size that goes with the size of your tree!
Because you are a Pro
This week we published three colouring pages: a Zentangle picture of a castle, a mandala, and a picture of an airplane.
Also: a page for learning to draw an excavator, a pre-writing exercise, a connect-the-dots elephant,
a spot-the-differences game, a maze, a counting exercise with farm animals, and a sudoku with Australian animals.
All these printables are included with a Pro membership.
More ideas for Christmas ornaments, big and small:
Have a great week!
Joelle
