The Forest Journey is a solstice story that follows the adventures of three gnome friends as they travel into the wintry woods in search of greenery.
How to use your Solstice Story Calendar:
Use the enclosed command strips to hang your calendar on the wall, or stick it to your fridge with magnets.
Starting with the door marked “1” on December 1st, open one door a day until you reach the Winter Solstice. If your household has several members, consider taking turns opening the doors.
Once you’ve opened each day’s door, look closely at the picture (you may want a magnifying glass!) and discuss what you think might be happening. See if you can notice any details that might hint at what’s to come. If you want, you can pick names for the characters, decide what their favorite foods are, or discuss what you think their hobbies might be.
After the solstice, your calendar can be recycled, or you can shut the doors and save it to use again in a future year.
