Questions teachers and parents ask
When is Christmas?
Christmas Day is on December 25.
How do I keep December art inclusive?
Not every family celebrates Christmas. Winter subjects like snowmen, polar animals and snowy trees let everyone take part.
Do these projects work for homeschool?
Yes. The lessons are written for a classroom but the steps work at home too. Read each lesson description before you prep.
