Winter Solstice Party

Purpose: This seasonal party provides a culminating experience for children before their winter vacation. Many of us find ourselves confronted with a great deal of sensitivity about the various winter holidays. One way to celebrate this important time of the year without offending anyone is to focus on the solstice. A variety of activities that are fun for the children can also help strengthen their foundational skills for literacy development.  Some of the activities that would be fun and meaningful for this time of the year include:

 

 

Candle decorating (real candles)

Candle decorating (paper candles)

Star or candle shaped cookie decorating

Transparencies

Books, songs and poems about light and winter
