As we’ve mentioned before, the holidays are a time to focus on kindness and generosity, and what’s the simplest way to embody those qualities? Giving someone a compliment! In fact, one study suggests that receiving a compliment can be just as motivating as receiving money-- not that we’re suggesting that your paychecks should be replaced with words of affirmation.

Comme nous l'avons déjà mentionné, les fêtes sont un moment où l'on met l'accent sur la gentillesse et la générosité, et quelle est la façon la plus simple d'incarner ces qualités? Faire un compliment à quelqu'un! En fait, une étude suggère que recevoir un compliment peut être tout aussi motivant que recevoir de l'argent - non pas que nous suggérions que vos salaires soient remplacés par des mots d'affirmation.

Learn how to make snowflakes out of paper so that you can decorate your house and have a snow day this Winter! Just fold pieces of paper, use scissors to cut out shapes, and see what designs you can make! What other arts and crafts and fun DIY projects do you want Crafty Carol to teach?
SUPPLIES NEEDED
Paper (preferably thin or lightweight paper)
Scissors
Protractor (optional)
STEPS
1. Make a paper square.
Start out with a square piece of paper, preferably thin or lightweight paper. You can use square origami paper or follow these easy steps for making a square from any rectangular piece of paper.
2. Fold diagonally in half.
Fold the square diagonally in half to come up with a triangle.
3. Fold in half.
Fold the resulting triangle in half to make a smaller triangle.
4. Divide the triangle into 3 sections.
The most crucial and perhaps the trickiest step in making a paper snowflake is dividing the triangle into three equal sections. The most accurate way to do this is to use a protractor to divide the angle at the triangle's apex (the corner opposite the longest side) into three sections, each with a 30-degree angle. If you don't have a protractor, you can estimate the size of the sections as you do Steps 5 and 6.
5. Fold the left section.
Once you've marked out the three equal sections, fold the left section towards the front.
6. Fold the right section.
Similarly fold the right section towards the front.
7. Flip the shape.
Flip the shape over so that the side with the horizontal edge is facing front.
8. Cut along the horizontal edge.
Cut along the horizontal edge so that you end up with a wedge.
9. Cut random shapes.
While keeping the wedge folded, cut out random shapes out of the edges.
If you're looking for printable ready-to-cut snowflake patterns, you can find them here.
10. Unfold the paper.
Carefully unfold the paper to reveal your paper snowflake. Like real snowflakes, your paper snowflake has a 6-point or six-sided symmetry.
11. Make more snowflakes.
In nature, no two snowflakes are exactly the same. Try making different shape cut-outs in Step 9 to come up with your own unique snowflakes.

Chores. What’s not to love? In case you have one of those rare kids who isn’t quite fond of helping out around, the holidays are a great time to remind us all to cultivate a generous, selfless spirit. Whether it’s making the bed or putting the dishes away, show your kids how important it is to help out their parents during what can be a stressful season! And hey, if that doesn’t work? Give them a small incentive or find a way to make it fun!
--------
Les tâches domestiques-- super fun, non? Si vos enfants n'aiment pas beaucoup aider à la maison (choquant, nous le savons), la période des fêtes est un bon moment pour nous rappeler à tous de cultiver un esprit généreux. Qu'il s'agisse de faire le lit ou de ranger la vaisselle, montrez à vos enfants combien il est important d'aider leurs parents pendant une saison qui peut être stressante! Et si ça ne marche pas? Donnez à vos enfants une incentive ou trouvez un moyen de rendre les tâches domestiques amusantes!

Did you know that the modern Christmas tree tradition is believed to have begun in 16th century Germany? Small evergreen trees were decorated with candles, apples, nuts, and berries by devout Christians. It took awhile for the Christmas trees to be widely accepted in America, but by the 1890s their popularity was on the rise, with Americans preferring large floor-to-ceiling trees while Europeans tended to have ones that were about 4 feet tall.
For our next activity, we’re approaching Christmas trees a bit differently, with links that’ll show kids how to make little trees out of Lego, paper, and more!
----------
Saviez-vous que la tradition moderne du sapin de Noël remonte à l'Allemagne du XVIe siècle? Les petits sapins à feuilles persistantes étaient décorés de bougies, de pommes, de noix et de baies par les chrétiens dévots. Il a fallu un certain temps pour que les arbres de Noël soient largement acceptés en Amérique; dans les années 1890, leur popularité était en hausse, les Américains préférant les grands arbres du sol au plafond, tandis que les Européens avaient tendance à en avoir des arbres d'environ 4 pieds de haut.
Notre nouvelle activité sur le thème des arbres de Noël montrera aux enfants comment fabriquer leurs propres arbres en Lego, en papier, et bien plus encore!
