The care packages that families received at Thanksgiving included a #10 can as the packaging. This aligns with our 7th principle (taking care of the Earth) in that it is reused and recyclable, AND it can be used to make ice lanterns! Families are seeking ways to add magic to the holidays in a time when we can't do many of our usual traditions because of the pandemic. Liza and Marissa made this simple video (below) to share how it works. Click here for video: How to make an ice lantern
They're a great addition to any Winter Solstice ritual, or any holiday really--even when it isn't winter! Check out the great lanterns made by families and individuals. Here are some of the quotes from them,
"We made some this weekend thanks to you. My boys are really excited to light them tomorrow."
"So very excited!"
"James is so excited for the ice lanterns tonight!! They were fun to make and we made two for our neighbors."
"Thank you for the care package for the holiday season. We really appreciated the thought and creativity that you put into it and we enjoyed many of the activities. Making ice lanterns was our favorite new tradition this year, and Julia really enjoyed the magic of the process and the light from the lanterns at night! "
