Hi all. I have the "Great Colonial America Projects" book and hope to use that soon with all of my children for a unit study of sorts with the kids. Anyone use this and like it? Does anyone have any tips on incorporating our regular text with more fun, hands on projects?

This is an old thread on Colonial Era hands-on activities and living literature.

Chicago Review Press puts out a couple series of activity books for children. I have been very impressed with the ones I have seen. There are lots of very engaging hands-on activities for different historical periods. The one on Egypt by Marion Broid that Erin mentioned in your other thread is published by them. These are the other Chicago Review Press books that would fit your Revolution/Colonial period.

And Theresa I hope you're reading this thread. You had a book in your side bar this year that was a revolutionary or colonial activity book I believe. I know I requested it from the library after seeing it at your site, but can not remember the name of it at all. Help!

You may want to check these out too:


Time Travelers Series : Colonial Life

They also have New World Explorers, American Revolution, etc. If if you didn't use their actual "unit study" there are tons of activities.
