Customer Reviews

excellent book but too thin

This is an excellent book full of great activities for connecting to lessons. The only problem I have with it is that it is too thin! There are just not enough projects in it. It really could use more things to do and a few more historical tidbits.

Great supplemental activities!

This wonderful book is a great addition to your study of Pioneer days! All of the activities can be used to reinforce the daily life of the Pioneer families. There are activities and instructions for hand sewing a doll and her clothing; making useful, everyday things such as punched tin lanterns from tin cans and votive candles; or even molded candles. This is a great book for those hands on activities you need for history. It would even be good for studying the lives of children throughout history.
