Megan is reading about Jacob and his sons. We are slowly coming to the story of Joseph. Ancient Egypt is on the horizon over the next few weeks. Today I pulled a project off of Easy Peasy Homeschool’s Ancient History lessons. Megan was to build a 3-D pyramid.
At
first, we were going to build the pyramid with cardboard. But
transferring the outline to cardboard wasn’t working well for us, so we
just used the paper we had printed.
This was actually a super-simple project. It was intended for younger children. Sometimes those simple projects just add a bit of fun to our day. Megan loves hands-on projects.
Anytime she can color, draw, cut, glue, or tape, she is content. The creative artist in her always wants to come out.
The final result wasn’t anything spectacular, but it did introduce Ancient Egypt in a fun way.
We often do the Heart of Dakota projects that are listed in the guide. Occasionally, I will substitute them with something different if I see a project that looks like fun and would go nicely, if I don’t have all the supplies, or if I want to add some music or art to the lessons. Easy Peasy Homeschool helps me to add these things nicely for no cost.
