  This is a lively book of learning and fun activities for Christian festivals. Packed with craft ideas, make-and-do projects, recipes, stories and facts, this is designed to help children make the most of the great festivals while also learning about their origins and significance. For Christmas, there's ideas on how to design and print wrapping paper; stage a nativity play; make an advent ring; create 3D greetings cards; and compile a Christmas record book. On Mothering Sunday, delight Mum with a home-made carnation posy; cook up edible gifts; make an unusual flower card; and discover the origins of this special day for Mothers. Children can find out more about Easter by tracing the events of Jesus' death and resurrection; celebrate by designing an Easter garden; make egg-shaped gifts for friends and family; and grow an Easter gift for someone special. To celebrate Harvest Festival, there's craft ideas based on natural materials; lavender bundles to make, seed necklaces to design, pumpkin characters to amuse one's friends; discover how Harvest is celebrated around the world; and enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving treat.
