Occasions & crafts
Celebrations, crafts and gifts
A baby experiences a celebration as atmosphere rather than as narrative — light, smells, music, being handled by a great many people. That is the organising idea here: pick one sensory element, schedule it before the second nap, and abandon it without guilt when it stops working.
The craft guides follow the same rule. Anything requiring cutting, precision or small parts is an adult craft the child watches, so these are the other kind. Where a holiday is national rather than global we say whose it is, and the activities are written so they still work if you do not keep it.
