How the traditions of Christmas can be taught through
the use of arts and crafts
The symbol of light is one that is part of celebrations, ceremonies and rituals across almost all cultures and religions around the world from the Hindu festival of Diwali (the festival of light) to the Greek Lam padedromia (the torch-race).
And the celebration of Christmas is no exception.
Lights can be seen everywhere at Christmas, from fairy lights on a Christmas tree, to candles in a church, fireworks in the sky, and lanterns around a house.
And the oldest tradition is probably the light of candles and lanterns that were used to symbolise Christmas long before the invention of electricity.
It is also traditional that children make Christmas lanterns out of card. This is an activity and skill that has been passed down through the generations and is widely encouraged in schools around Christmas time.
S&S Services have developed a Christmas lantern kit which includes 18 pieces of card in various designs ready to be decorated as the children wish – with the only boundary being their imagination and the theme of Christmas.
You can find the Christmas lanterns and our full range of art supplies on our website at the following links:
