This fun activity is unique in that it’s festive with a touch of science! A no-bake recipe like this requires precise measurements and thorough attention to detail in order to come out right, so it’s a great way to stay on top of your child’s education while marking the holiday.

Working with fleece from your local fabric store, this is a fun way to demonstrate the importance of giving back to the community. Donate the finished blanket to a local animal shelter.
