Game/Activity: Study the movement of windmills in an online video (try typing "windmills" into YouTube for some choices). Then, placing your arms out at your sides, pretend to be a windmill. If it's not too cold out, bundle up, and try this activity outside where you can feel the real wind blowing.
Snack: Enjoy a snack that reminds you of Holland! Try a Dutch cheese, like Gouda, on crackers, or buy some cute windmill cookies.
Craft: The Netherlands is internationally known for its beautiful flowers, particularly its tulips. Here's how to make some tulips that won't wilt!
- Gather an unused egg carton, scissors, sturdy tape, and several pipecleaners.
- Cut the egg carton cups apart, so they resemble tulip blossoms.
- Poke a pipecleaner through the bottom of each cup to represent the flower’s stem.
- Tape the pipecleaner in place with sturdy tape.
