So you heard about our wonderful experience when we were invited to the World Premier of The Nutcracker on Ice, and of course like the good homeschooling mother that I am, I am VERY good and telling everyone else how to do things. So I am going to tell you how you can take an experience like this and turn into an educational moment. Of course the whole experience in itself is educational in nature but if you want to take it a step further here are some ideas.
* A composer study of Tchaikovsky
* You could even create a mini book on Tchaikovsky.
* Read the different versions of the story of the Nutcracker to your children which you can get from the library.
* Printable lesson plan for the Nutcracker which includes turning a pine cone into a Xmas Tree
* Make some Nutcracker puppets
* Mapwork: Russia and surrounds, take out some books on Russia
* A quick quiz
* Listen to the music
* Crafts: Make a Nutcracker from a toilet roll
