Materials

Something to create a light display. You might want to use candles, fairy lights, farolitos, or something else entirely.

Activity

With your kiddo, do something to bring light to the darkness. At our house, we’ll light candles in the windows for the evening. I like the simplicity of this ritual, and the way it makes the house cozier on the darkest night of the year. We used to light candles just inside the house, but by spreading light to the neighborhood, it builds a sense of community.
