Description
Welcome to "The Night Tree", a magical and heartwarming experience inspired by Eve Bunting's enchanting book. Immerse yourself in the spirit of the season as we gather to create special ornaments for our feathered friends and celebrate the joy of giving.
Participants will have the opportunity to read "The Night Tree" by Eve Bunting, a beautifully crafted story that captures the essence of sharing and caring for nature. Drawing inspiration from the tale, we'll embark on a creative journey to craft unique ornaments designed specifically for woodland animals.
We'll gather around a designated Night Tree, adorned with our crafted ornaments. With cups of hot chocolate in hand, we'll step outside to enjoy the crisp winter air and share in the warmth of community. Together, we'll sing holiday songs, creating a festive atmosphere that mirrors the joyous spirit of the season.
But the magic doesn't end there. To capture the essence of our celebration, we'll set up a trail camera to document the night's events. After the event, we'll share the captured memories with all the participating kids, creating a lasting connection to the wonderful experience.
