Kwanzaa is often celebrated with traditional African music, with the rhythm provided by African drums. Here is a craft idea for making your own.
You will need:
A terracotta plant pot
Acrylic paints in red, green and black
Sheet of paper
Elastic band
Instructions:
Paint your terracotta pot in the Kwanzaa colours and leave to dry.
Cut a large circle of paper and fasten it over your pot with the elastic band, pulling it tight. Play away.
People in western Africa wear clothes from a cloth made of thin strips of fabric woven together. Why not weave yourself a paper placemat in the colours of Kwanzaa?
Adinkra is a type of cloth worn in Western Africa. It is a printed grid pattern made up of combed grid lines and a small shape printed in the squares.
Use this fun bubble wrap printing technique to make a corn on the cob picture. Perfect for Harvest Festival, Thanksgiving, Kwanzaa or perhaps a farming or food theme.
