Make the most of the festive season with this charmingly illustrated book packed full of crafting ideas, baking recipes, and gardening projects, all perfect for enjoying during Christmas!
Get ready for fun, wholesome crafting activities, such as how to make a decorative garland from beads and string. Discover the creativity of using recycled materials and learn about how you can reuse old holiday cards to create bookmarks, gift tags, and even your own bunting.Then roll up your sleeves and get your apron ready for the simple, tasty and festive recipes that each make a delicious treat to give away as Christmas gifts. From maple syrup caramels, which need only two ingredients, to deliciously warming cinnamon rolls to share around on Christmas morning, you will be delighted by how easy it is to get involved with the cozy fun.
Woven throughout the book are nuggets of nature-themed festive wisdom that encourage you to think about self-sufficiency, written by series author and homesteading teacher Angela Ferraro-Fanning. You will discover how to attract a "Santa crow", which can leave gifts in exchange for food, you'll learn about how to grow elderberry plants from cuttings, and you'll enjoy some mystical lore about the pattern of the moon across the Christmas season.
All the activities are broken down into steps, clearly explained and accompanied by AnneliesDraws' adorable illustrations. The gardening and planting activities will suit any space, as they will work equally well on windowsills as in gardens.
This special book from Ivy Kids will nurture creativity and deep connections with the living world, and will help young readers and families to celebrate the holiday season with planet-friendly fun.
Angela Ferraro-Fanning is a self-taught first-generation farmer who built Axe & Root Homestead, a six-acre farm in central New Jersey. Originally a graphic and website designer by trade, she owned and operated her own design firm for over a decade. After the birth of her first child, she realized she wanted to be outdoors, aligning her life with the seasons and with nature. She now grows and preserves her own homegrown produce for her young family and runs a farm bustling with Clydesdales, geese and ducks for eggs, an apiary with ten beehives, sheep, and a small orchard. She shares this love for eco-conscious, self-sufficient living with others through social media as @axeandroothomestead, her books and online homesteading classes, public speaking, and regular contributions to publications such as Countryside Magazine, Backyard Beekeeping, and Backyard Poultry Magazines.
