Christmas Around the World

The past two weeks we have been busy traveling all over the world learning about Christmas traditions.  We started in the United States and talked about all the things we do with our families then we traveled to Mexico where we made poinsettias

Next we stopped in Brazil where we learned that they shoot fireworks at Christmas and we made these bird ornaments to go on our tee

Then it was off to South Africa where they make Christmas Crackers every year so of course we did too!

Next, was Germany they decorate Christmas trees just like we do in America so we made a Christmas tree craft.

We went to China, where we made paper lanterns just like they do

Our next stop was Australia where we learned they have Christmas during the SUMMER!! How great! We made a kangaroo craft (which I forgot to take a picture of!) because they think kangaroos pull santa's sleigh!! 

Our last stop was the North Pole and there we got to watch the Polar Express and enjoy hot chocolate and candy and of course we got our very own Christmas bells!!
