Hey Loves!
One of my absolute favorite things about the culture of our house is that Black History and the celebration of Black people isn’t a day or a month. It’s literally every day.
So, I wanted to be sure to “kick it up a notch” for Juneteenth for a few reasons.
To know me is to know I love celebrating-the big, small and everything on between. I’m also big on traditions. It’s very VERY important that my kids see celebrations of Juneteenth just like they celebrations of Valentine’s Day or Halloween.
One of my favorite quotes is, “traditions make you remember” and I need them to remember the culture of home. Juneteenth helps by being tradition.
As my kids are getting older, they can absorb and comprehend so SO much I am so glad to educate, commemorate and celebrate all month long with these baskets.
Each basket contains:
DIY Pajamas: I ordered solid pajama short sets from Amazon and added patterned vinyl from my local vinyl shop.
DIY shirts: Using shirts from target, I added some vinyl to remind them that their joy is their birthright.
Craft kits- grabbing supplies from home and a craft store with some beads from our favorite jewelry designer, I put together a couple crafts. You can see the deets here.
Books- James got this one and Jude got this.
I also added a blank book for them to create a recipe book and awesome activity kits from Afrocentric Montessori.
I also created a word search for James. You can snag yours below.
Pennants- I designed these and you can grab yours below. Be sure to print in landscape!
