Fun Day!
A few days ago, I took my children to the local quilt store with another homeschool family. The quilt store had planned a day around Laura Ingalls Wilder. The kids learned all about her. 
They learned about the special traps and got to see some just like it. They learned about the candles and got to make their own small candles. The teacher told about how Pa played the fiddle and she had a fiddle that she played for the kids. It was a beautiful day out and the kids sat under a tree in the breeze and learned all this. Plus they learned about birds and got a small pattern of a bird that they got to embroider. They learned about stuffing the pillows with real feathers and then made their own pillow.
It was a great day of learning of all. While the kids were learning, the moms got to go to the local bookstore and shop. I was able to find several Little House books and the kids have begged to read the books together. We also found a lapbook online that goes along with the book that we are working on. It was a great learning experience that has encouraged us to keep going on.

Hi!

Sounds like a fun time! I think my kids would enjoy it. I've always wanted to visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder historic home and museum in Mansfield. Have you been there?
Good to see you back to blogging!
Blessings,
Jenelle
