My cousin did our family tree a while back and indeed, Laura and I are cousins. Which I think is the coolest thing because growing up that was my absolute favorite tv show and it still is high on my list. Thank goodness for the Hallmark channel. The funny part of that is, originally my name was to be Laura. Until my grandmother said she didn't like it and my parents changed their mind and this was way before we new about the family connection. How cool is that!!!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130643353218132166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424947905832881067.post-73969584642650799202009-05-28T18:41:43.535-04:002009-05-28T18:41:43.535-04:00Our son studied Laura Ingalls Wilder at school thi...Our son studied Laura Ingalls Wilder at school this last quarter. It's been fabulous. He had to present a report on games from the 1800's. It was fun to see games that I recall playing at my grandparents house. My grandfather was a carpenter so he made us wooden round rings (about 16 inch diameter) and then long sticks with a flat piece on the end... the goal was to run and see how long you could keep your ring rolling without it falling down. I like your idea and will definitely be checking back!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768004054392607130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424947905832881067.post-56071134477315582162009-05-28T15:06:31.403-04:002009-05-28T15:06:31.403-04:00Have you tried Papel Picado (paper cutting)?

Basically think the old school cut out snowflakes, but more intricate. My kids did it at a homeschooling expo last year and loved it. <br />http://www.storyboardtoys.com/gallery/Papel-Picado.htmTanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716015199444152050noreply@blogger.com
