I am going to be studying Native Americans this coming week in our tour around the world. I would love a simple craft project to do or a nice recipe. This would need to be appropriate for K and pre-K children. Thanks!

A really easy thing to do is make clay pots and paint them. We did that for an activity this year.

Another is sand painting - let them make a design with glue on cardboard or heavy paper, then pour colored sand over top. You can repeat the glue and add new colors.

I love the sand painting idea. Where do you buy the colored sand?

Michaels or even Walmart should have it - it's normally in the kids crafts sections.

What about corn husk dolls? You can even buy kits for that, or leather headbands kits. Emmanuel Books used to sell them.
