Book Review: A World Full of Christmas Crafts
Rating: 4 Stars
Let me just start by saying that A World Full of Christmas Crafts is such a delightful little gem! This book, written by Helen Mortimer and beautifully illustrated by Joy Laforme, takes you on a festive journey around the globe, showcasing how different cultures celebrate Christmas through various crafts and recipes.
As someone who loves both crafting and learning about different traditions, I found this collection of 24 activities to be a perfect blend of creativity and cultural appreciation. Each craft invites you to explore a unique holiday custom—from weaving paper hearts from Denmark to baking gingerbread reindeer cookies that are oh-so-American. It’s like an artsy passport to Christmas! 🎄✈️
What I really enjoyed was the cute little backstories that accompany each project. It gives you a glimpse into how these traditions started and what they mean in their respective countries. I mean, who wouldn't want to know about mini lanterns from the Philippines or maracas from Trinidad and Tobago while crafting? It's a wonderful way to engage kids in learning about diversity while having fun.
The illustrations are vibrant and charming, making it hard not to smile as you flip through the pages. And let me tell you, the step-by-step instructions are super easy to follow—perfect for both kids and adults. Whether you’re looking to make some festive decorations or whip up a tasty treat, there’s something here for everyone.
Honestly, this book would make an excellent addition to any homeschooling holiday curriculum or just a fun go-to for families looking to spice up their holiday season with some hands-on activities. It’s engaging, informative, and, above all, a cute collection that will keep kids busy during the countdown to Christmas.
So if you're looking for a little inspiration this holiday season, grab a copy of A World Full of Christmas Crafts. You won’t be disappointed!
