St. Lucia's Day

Happy St. Lucia's Day! I decided we would learn about Christmas customs, especially Santa Claus customs, from around the world. We will learn a few different Santa Claus traditions, make some projects, and hopefully put them all into a lapbook. Today we learned about St. Lucia (historically) and St. Lucia traditions in Sweden. We identified Sweden on a map. We made a paper wreath & candle hat. I gave the girls red, orange, and yellow fingerpaint to paint on the flames of the candles. After that dries, we'll put our hat together & wear them. This is a completely non-BJU related project that I hope to carry on throughout the Christmas season. If all goes well, I'll post a picture of the finished project!
