It looks like I’ve got another book in the works! This one will be Medieval in nature and include (just like my Greek and Colonial books) 15-20 hands on activities for kids to do while learning about the time period. It will be geared toward kids 9 & up. I’ve already got some great ideas for activities and I’m working on how to structure it. My kids have spent much time entrenched in the Medieval period already, so I’m not coming at this completely uninitiated!

All of the activities in the book must use (for the most part) items that are easily found in the average home, so this limits my choice of materials. At the moment, I’m testing a method to create a stained glass project.

Now that I’m getting into this, I’m curious. As a homeschooler, if you and your kids were delving into the Middle Ages, what would you look for in a book? Are there certain aspects of medieval life that are intriguing to your kids? Is there one activity that just lit a fire for you kids?
