Arts, Crafts, Recipes and Lesson Plans
Welcome to the Earth's Kids
Holiday pages!
We all know that children love holiday related arts and crafts.
So what
better way to extend the learning, and brighten your
curriculum, than by adding in holiday themed crafts, science,
math, and
language arts as well?
The trouble is, who has the time to chase down
worthwhile projects all over the web? So we've collected some of
our favorites to share with you! We've included old standards that
we acquired from teacher friends we have worked with over the years, as
well as our personal favorites that we use at home and in the classroom.
Plus we've also added in fun but sensible curriculum suggestions from
other teachers and parents that we know you'll enjoy.
Browse our directory below, then just click an underlined title to jump to the
holiday of your choice! You'll find that each one hosts a collection of holiday specific writing projects
and reading selections, plus games, songs, fingerplays, recipes, math and science
-- and of course great arts and crafts projects. You'll
also find our recommendations for great books, toys, and craft
supplies!
Have a question or suggestion?
Great!
Just
send us some email!

Earth's Kids Tip #207:
Always plan ahead before starting your arts & craft
projects! Be sure to plan for mess containment and
clean up -- and always explain the ground rules before
you start.
But... if you can handle the wacky, go for it!! |
