In history, we’re studying Western Expansion and the lives of the pioneers. One of the suggested crafts in our curriculum was to make a shadow puppet theater and puppets. (Thank goodness we had a cereal box to use!) Visit Shadow Box Puppet Show to see more photos and specific how-tos.
In the bright daylight, I had a hard time convincing her that it would work. But once I drew the curtains and shone a lamp towards the puppet theater, she was able to see the wonderfully clear results!
Just like the pioneers, we whiled away the time watching the silly shows we improvised.

Hi, I'm Jimmie, and this is my online collage -- a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but mostly homeschooling with a loosely Charlotte Mason style. You're welcome to poke around and leave a comment if you desire.
