Hygge - the Danish word for a way of lifestyle that cultivates warmth, coziness, well being, peace and embraces being present and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. This unit is deep dive into the foundational aspects of hygge as well as other bits of Scandinavian culture.
 
As with all of our Wonder House Deep Dives you’ll look at a topic from various angles of history, art, tradition, science, writing, etc as well as find a solid balance of well written information study pages and creative engaging activities.
 
What is more, in this study I developed it not only for middle years but also with homeschool mothers in mind. I truly believe that you as the parent will enjoy doing the activities and that this is a lovely family study.
 
In this 70 page study you’ll find over 20 activities.
