[quote=Anonymous]Op here, thanks for all your feedback. I think I will stick to Christmas related art projects for now and next Christmas, I will ask the parents about teaching the children about the other holidays- they’re only 17 and 18 months so they’re too young to even understand what Christmas is about let alone the other holidays.

As I’ve mentioned earlier, I come from daycare, so I am well aware of other religions and the holidays that are celebrated. So if I was to introduce/ talk about the other holidays, I would actually show pictures, clips, sing songs and read the many books that I have, related to the holiday’s- I celebrate Christmas btw. This is in response to the pp who stated that if the caregiver is just going to do crafts and doesn’t know about the actual holiday and religion behind it then no, don’t introduce it.

But I didn’t think about not so much of introducing another holiday/religion to a child but if that family doesn’t celebrate the holiday, it could be tricky displaying such in ones home vs at school/daycare. I have babysat many children from my daycare and they have rooms filled with all the art work including the ones related to holiday’s they do not celebrate and then I have witness parents throw away art work (related to holidays) before they even leave the center.
