Educational Value:  This page would reinforce whatever the teacher is doing for Social Studies.  It basically gives the students a hands-on and active project that refers to a specific holiday.  The activities would be great way for the students to actually become involved in the holiday and make it more memorable.

Comments:  KinderArt is a great resource page for educators.  It gives a layout of all the holidays and celebrations that are found throughout the year.  It also contains many links that are also very helpful to teachers.  It is a very good comprehensive site to check out.
