One of the ornaments we made with our Christmas Curriculum.  We are using Discover Christmas, and on several of the days I have ornament kits to go with the theme of the day.  This day we learned about the tradition of lights on Christmas trees.  This was C's first sewing project, he really enjoyed it and did really well.  (It's given me a GREAT idea for Christmas Curriculum for next year that I'm working on now!)

    

Some other ornaments we made this last week.  We learned about the tradition of Christmas Trees, the tradition of decorating them with ornaments and when Christmas Trees came to America as a tradition.
