World Studies turned into a large project these past few months. I am always on the lookout for fun and free activities for the girls to do, and Michaels is a great place for free craft classes! This summer they had world crafts, and I took their schedule and worked the learning into the crafts. Before the girls went to craft class, they learned about the country at home. It was so much fun!! I checked out books about each country and had worksheets and activities for each one. Then, I put the crafts they made and the worksheets and activities into binders seperated by continent. We had world studies and art all rolled into one!!
