March 5, 2008 - Winter Promise Crafts

Another Winter Promise entry. I've got several blog entries that I need to get published, so I'm posting a few from my drafts folder.

You know that Sprite is a super-crafty child! All the crafts included in our American Story curriculum are a wonderful fit for her! Not all children like crafts or benefit from them. But they work for us.

I love dioramas. They are so fun! And so realistic.


The leather medicine pouch was a discounted craft I found at Hobby Lobby. It fit in with our American Indian study perfectly!


A dear seamstress made this Indian costume for Sprite when we were in America. She is loving it! Here she is, posing before our USA map, a necessity for this curriculum!


Gold "coins" (beads) in her medicine pouch.

What a pretty indian princess she is!

We also found a kit to make a quill pen and your own mocassins (with prepunched holes). I really love WP!

What a great Indian dress! I know my kids all loved dressing up...

Your study looked great! Everything looked great.... did you use those History Pockets? Or were those crafty ideas from WP? *Ü*

I like the picture of your daughter with her hands together...

Connie, you didn't leave a link. I hope you'll come back for the answer. :-)
I got the map from Rainbow Resource. It's a laminated, USA physical map.
