Free Printable Winter Seasonal Crafts

You might not think winter is a holiday. And right about now, under five feet of snow here in Michigan, I agree. That's why it's so important we find ways to make it fun or at least tolerable. Sooo, why not print winter-themed crafts. Use with students, kids at home, senior in care facilities, special needs--we all need a little cheer! Printable Winter Crafts and Activities for Kids

Free Printable Imbolc Activities, Wiccan Sabbat Crafts

The pagan holiday of Imbolc is celebrated on February 1-2 (depending on year). It's a Gaelic druidic holiday, called St. Brighid's Day, and honors the coming of spring. Much is known about Christian and national holidays. Many Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh and Hindu celebrations are familiar. The holidays that are least known (also some of the world's oldest) are pagan or wiccan. I don't practice Wicca, but as a homeschool parent and teacher, I explore different cultures. If you're a pagan parent or homeschooler or you're teaching world religions, here are free printable Wiccan crafts, coloring pages and resources for holidays (or sabbats). Imbolc Printables

Free Geminids Meteor Shower Resources, Comet Wirtanen Lesson Plans

There's a party going on in the heavens right now! Two, count them two, meteor showers are raising some celestial fireworks. December's regularly-scheduled Geminids meteor shower is doing her stuff (Geminids are called "fireball" meteors--check them out and you'll see why!). And a brand-new meteor light show from comet Wirtanen may put in an appearance. Wirtanen visits every 5ish years, but this is the first time she's bringing friends! Two disclaimors, first article I linked to is about the Ursid meteor shower on Winter Solstice, 2010 (remember a lunar eclipse showed up, too?). But the links I used have materials on the Geminids--just click the homepage or type "geminids" in the search. There's info on Wirtanen too. In 2010, we didn't get to see much of that trifecta, because it was overcast. But the 2012 Geminids arrive on a cloudless night. So get out there and enjoy. And follow up with these printables in school or at home. (Once a homeschooler always a homeschooler). Also, yes this isn't really a holiday, but I think a meteor shower is definitely something to celebrate!! Read more
