Frozen snowflake headbands

I think it is safe to say that the popularity of all things related to the FROZEN movie is still going strong… If you know a FROZEN fan, I highly recommend this unique craft. Even if you don’t know a fan of the movie, this would make a fun winter headband or decoration. All you need to make it is a white handkerchief (or a strip of white fabric), Sharpie markers, rubbing alcohol (in a spray bottle), rubber bands, and cups.

Leif Erikson Day is celebrated on Oct. 9, and it’s a great time to learn more about the Vikings and why we still remember Erikson all these years later.

If you don’t know about Leif Erikson (sometimes spelled Eriksson), he’s believed to have been born in Iceland, and is considered the first European to set foot on continental America, more than 500 years before Christopher Columbus.

123 Homeschool 4 Me has a printable mini book about Leif Erikson and the Vikings for kids to read and color. It talks about who the Vikings were, what kind of ships they used, how they got to America and more. It’s a good overview for younger kids to use.

A good unit study is available from Simple Living Creative Learning, which includes a page where kids can write what they know, what they want to learn and what they learned through the unit, as well as information on the Vikings, longships, helmets, clothing and more.
