Homeschool isn't always glue and glitter (there is definitely "boring" stuff too, promise!) ... but we had fun this week learning about the Roman Empire. I try to make history and science interesting for the kids by including related projects and activities; and it seems to be doing the trick because History is Angel's favorite subject (wahoo!). Today we created our own crowns after Emperor Nero, they had a blast, as you can see.
When you allow the kids to have unlimited access to scissors, glue, glitter, buttons, stickers, stamps and all things messy ... it is sure to be a success in their eyes, right?
Sunshine was in Heaven with her very own pair of scissors for this project. Thankfully, no hairs on her head were harmed during the making of this crown (thank you Kelly Raudenbush for making me teensy bit nervous about it!).
We will be continuing our study of the Roman Empire into next week too. Angel is especially excited about building Roman columns with cookie dough and then eating, um I mean "smashing," said columns like the Barbarians did. Hopefully I will remember to grab my camera for that one!
You have the most beautiful children!!! I hear you on the glue & glitter. We do our work in the first part of the day & then they craft the afternoon away. (most days) they love it & I'm so grateful for that.
