✨ New at Lehr’s: Folia Lantern Craft Sets! ✨

Just in time for St. Martin’s Day, we’re excited to bring you beautiful DIY lantern kits. These sets are perfect for crafting your own lanterns to light up the night, just like in the traditional „Laternenumzüge“ (lantern parades) in Germany.

On St. Martin’s Day, children across Germany create their own lanterns and parade through the streets, singing songs and celebrating the story of St. Martin, a Roman soldier known for his kindness. It’s a magical way to light up the dark autumn evenings and share warmth and generosity. 🌟

Come by Lehr’s and get your lantern kit before they sell out—perfect for a family craft or as a unique gift. 🏮✨
