Accompanied by wonderful illustrations A World Full of Christmas Crafts is a lovely guide, featuring twenty four crafts for the season.

The crafts themselves are fairly basic, but some parents and caregivers may enjoy having them all listed together in one guide.

The London Year: What to Do and When by Yolanda Zappaterra, Sarah Guy

US pub date - 10/1/24

Appealingly laid out, with plenty of vivid color photos, I liked seeing images of many of the goings-on in the city of London and, while I’m not sure how helpful this might or might be to a resident, as someone who’s planning a dream trip to England, I found it an enjoyable and helpful read, (and I’ve also realized that I really would need at least a full year to experience the area the way I’d love to be able to). 

The London Year would also likely be rather useful in planning your homeschooling year.
