Holidays Around the World Art

We have been traveling the world still. We went to Mexico and learned about their tradition of Las Posadas. We then read, The Legend of the Poinsettia, by Tomie de Paola. We made our own poinsettias today.

Today we traveled to Italy and learned about La Befana. She is a nice old witch that brings gifts to children on January 6th. Does your child remember anything else we learned about her from Mrs. Hicks? We then made a La Befana craft.
