Kwanzaa Decorations: Kinara and Candles

First to recommend

Description

The Kinara is a focal point of Kwanzaa and an important part of kwanzaa decorations. That's 3 red candles, 3 green and one black. This set comes with the candles, so you're ready to go. Each candles represents one of the seven Kwanzaa principles.

Kwanzaa Decorations: Hand Carved Unity Cup

First to recommend

Description

Some Kwanzaa 101:

Okay, so on the sixth day of Kwanzaa (in addition to lighting the appropriate candle of the Kinara) there's the Karamu feast, which includes a libation ritual--the tambiko--that is performed with a unity cup.

This one is hand-carved in Ghana, West Africa. When not in use, the cup can take its place amidst other Kwanzaa Decorations.

Imagiplay Wooden Puzzles

3 people recommended this item

Description

During Kwanzaa, gifts are exchanged--gifts called zawadi--that embody the Kwanzaa principle of Kuumba, which is CREATIVITY.

I love this puzzle because it's interlocking animals (who doesn't love animals!) which are fun to put together, but also encourage curiosity and imagination in your kid.

Incidentally, while we're on topic, Kwanzaa gifts are given based on merit. So kids don't just expect to get gifts, they know they have to earn them.

(Like the Santa lump-of-coal system used to be, back when gas was 10 cents a gallon and kids had to walk 5 miles uphill (both ways) to school in the snow every day.)

LocalHarvest Stores - Organic Produce Delivered Right to Your Door

2 people recommended this item

Description

Kwanzaa decorations include fruits and vegetables laid out on a mkeka (straw mat or cloth.) Specifically, you're going to need one ear of corn for each child in the family. If there are no kids, you'll just be using the 2 ears of corn. The corn goes on either side of the mkeka. They'll flank the Kinara, which is the candleholder with 7 candles, one per Kwanzaa principle. (phew!)

The other fruits and vegetables go in the mazao (basket). Traditional inclusions are pumpkins, squash, bananas and sweet potatoes--and whatever else you like. Since these are seasonal, the LocalHarvest stores should have them available for home delivery, so that you can focus on the rest of your Kwanzaa decorations!

IlluStory: Write and illustrate your own book!

5 people recommended this item

Description

On a roll with the Kwanzaa decorations and gifts--this gift (zawadi) is an excellent example of the principle of Kuumba: all about the creativity. Your kids create their own story and it comes back bound like a real book.

What a cool way to capture creativity and have a lasting keepsake of your child's unique take on the world.

Kwanzaa Decorations: Pan African Flag

First to recommend

Description

The Flag of the Black Nation (Bendera Ya Taifa) is another key component to Kwanzaa decorations. This flag should fast east, traditionally, and be near the mkeka.

This framed version can be a part of the decor permanently, or stores well for inclusion for the Kwanzaa decorations.
