A Christmas Treasury of Recipes, Crafts, and Wisdom Written by Angela Ferraro-Fanning and Illustrated by Annelies Draws

 A Christmas Treasury of Recipes, Crafts, and Wisdom Written by Angela Ferraro-Fanning and Illustrated by Annelies Draws from Querto.

Make the most of the festive season with this charmingly illustrated book packed full of crafting ideas, baking recipes and gardening projects, all perfect for enjoying during Christmas!



Get ready for fun, wholesome crafting activities, such as how to make a decorative garland from beads and string. Discover the creativity of using recycled materials and learn about how you can reuse old holiday cards to create bookmarks, gift tagsand even your own bunting.

Then roll up your sleeves and get your apron ready for the simple, tasty and festive recipes that each make a delicious treat to give away as Christmas gifts. From maple syrup caramels, which need only two ingredients, to deliciously warming cinnamon rolls to share around on Christmas morning, you will be delighted by how easy it is to get involved with the cozy fun.



Woven throughout the book are nuggets of nature-themed festive wisdom that encourage you to think about self-sufficiency, written by series author and homesteading teacher Angela Ferraro-Fanning. You will discover how to attract a ‘Santa crow, which can leave gifts in exchange for food, you'll learn about how to grow elderberry plants from cuttings, and you’ll enjoy some mystical lore about the pattern of the moon across the Christmas season.

All the activities are broken down into steps, clearly explained, and accompanied by AnneliesDraws’ adorable illustrations. The gardening and planting activities will suit any space, as they will work equally well on windowsills as in gardens.

This special book from Ivy Kids will nurture creativity and deep connections with the living world, and will help young readers and families to celebrate the holiday season with planet-friendly fun.

My Opinion: Life on a Homestead might be a different life than yours but again, it might not be in this book it has interesting facts, yummy simple recipes, and homemade Christmas gifts to give someone this year. I love cinnamon pinecones and will be making this craft!
