Just like Martin & Sylvia in their ‘Arctic Explorers’ adventure, we turned our backyard into an Arctic cookout! ❄️🔥

With coats, mittens, a fire crackling, and simple eats like sausages and s’mores, winter became a cozy adventure!

Inspired by the original audio story "Evergreen Brushes" from the Martin & Sylvia's Nature School collection. These natural paintbrushes invite us outdoors (rain or snow!) to forage and collect just like Sylvia and Sofia do! We recommend collecting three or four types of evergreens to make these paintbrushes for different textures! 🌲🎨🖌️

Happy foraging and creating!

It's officially winter, we're in the thick of it now! And so we felt it only fitting to highlight our original Martin & Sylvia's Nature School collection — inspiring and inviting us to get outside and embrace all seasons (even the cold ones) in all their glory! ❄️

Every Thursday, Martin goes to the Goose-eye Wilderness School while Sylvia and her friend Sophia create a Nature Homeschool. From wildcraft cooking to outdoor games to building projects to tree identification, Nature School will be a year of unfolding learning and fun.

In the Martin & Sylvia original audio story "First Day," Martin and Sylvia celebrate First Day by entering a snow sculpture competition. Even when it’s bitter cold out, you can have your own snow sculpture contest indoors with a sweet treat at the end to make it extra special. ❄️🍊

Try our Sparkly Winter Snow Cones: with fresh clean snow (or crushed ice), some fruit juice and a dash of simple syrup, you'll have yourself a icy cool treat to celebrate this snowy season! Read the full blog post here: https://www.sparklestories.com/blog/post/sparkle-kitchen-winter-snow-cones/

An excellent way to ring in the New Year is with the practice of affirmations, and our Sparkle Affirmation Cards are very dear indeed. 🪄

When we introduce a new word or phrase to influence our day, our week, or our year, it can really impact not only how we feel about ourselves, but also how we perceive life. Affirmations are a powerful tool for helping to build self-esteem and resilience in not only children, but also adults!

How do you want to feel this year? Brave? Powerful? Different? SUPER!? Pick one today by downloading here: https://www.sparklestories.com/blog/post/the-power-of-affirmation/ and let it guide you and your children with grace into a new year.

Let's kick the New Year off with some adventures, shall we?! 🗺️🎧

Meet the Dory family: a mother and her five children, an affectionate nickname (“the Horde”), and a host of mysterious powers. When word comes that their grandfather has suddenly died, the family is drawn from their quiet Kentucky farmhouse into an adventure across North America. On this epic journey, the Dory Horde must compete with their conniving uncles to uncover the source of their unusual powers and the secret fortune that their grandfather has left behind.

Whether you call them “resolutions,” “intentions,” or even plain old “wishes,” the start of the new year is a time to dream a little. This New Year's Eve we invite you and children to take part in our DIY Flying Wish Paper activity! 🕯️✨

If you've never experienced it before, it's delightful! You write your wish on a special thin paper, roll it into a tube, and light the top edge on fire [parents must help!] The paper will burn down for a minute, but then it flies up into the sky, carrying your wish with it. Learn how to create your very own wish paper here: https://www.sparklestories.com/blog/post/sparkle-craft-diy-flying-wish-paper/

What will your new year's intention be? Shh, don't tell us or it won't come true!

Wishing you all a safe and magical New Years Eve with those you hold dear. 💛
