What is the Kandil Lantern Craft?
⌄
Four pages: supplies and numbered steps with a picture of the finished star, two pages of star squares to color, cut and fold (two for the front star, two for the back), and streamer strips.
Can I use the Kandil Lantern Craft at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Preschool to 2nd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Preschool to 2nd Grade Diwali resources are there?
⌄
11 printable resources, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Diwali resources for?
⌄
These are written for Preschool to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 4-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Diwali resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Preschool to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
