Lantern Walk
For over a decade, Tinkergarten families and friends have gathered with homemade lanterns to welcome winter’s darkness, celebrate the changing seasons and connect as a community.
Lantern Walks are beautiful, free events open to all. We welcome families to join us in our outdoor classroom to sing traditional songs, light lanterns and set off on a cozy sunset walk together – simple and lovely!
Play is Learning!
What kids are learning when they make lanterns:
✨ Kids use multiple senses as they work with our glue-water mixture, tissue paper and nature treasures.
✨ As kids use a brush to apply glue mixture and carefully place tissue paper, they'll develop their fine motor skills as well as their ability to direct and sustain focus.
✨ Creating something of their own design nurtures creativity and confidence.
✨ Making our own lanterns helps us to prepare and get invested in the tradition.
