Art project - Make a wooden shoe pattern out of oaktag. Have the children place the two shoes together and staple around the edges of the shoes, leaving an opening along the top. Tell the children to pull the shoes slightly apart so that they may be filled with treats. Get some inexpensive treats and fill their shoes. On December 13 in Sweden, families celebrate St. Lucia's Day.
Girls dress in white and wear candle wreaths around their heads.
The girls serve breakfast, consisting of Lucia buns, to their parents. Art project - reproduce a candle and have children color them. Then put them on a band to go around the children's heads with the candle in the front. If you want them in white you can drape a sheet over their shoulders. As the butter melts ask the children to sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with the cinnamon-sugar topping.
