This year I wanted to do something different with the kids, we have never done a Christmas around the world study, so I figured it was time to try it! We only have a week left so we are only doing five countries, my hope is to continue this next year with five new countries!
Below I am linking all the recipes, blogs, printables, and books we are using with our study.
My biggest inspiration for this week came from this blog. There is a lot of great ideas on it! I recommend checking it out.
We are doing this over the course of five days, studying five countries. Each day will have a recipe, craft, lesson, book, and video.
If you are unable to find books, several of these are available as read alouds on youtube.
