We do school work around here

We have our school time daily, but often I only post about the fun stuff or the outdoor time we have, so without further ado..... A History salt map of Israel's divided kingdoms


Gluing the map to cardboard.

Mix the salt dough.... 1 cup salt, 1 cup white flour(a good use for white flour) and water until a mud consistency.

See that stack of chex and other various goodies? We made Chex mix today (reading and math)


Onlooking sisters, everyone in this family wears a hat but me.

Mixing the three colors needed... blue for the seas and rivers, green for Israel and orange for Judah, the divided kingdoms. This is one reason I love homeschooling, I can teach Biblical history.

  2. We made salt dough maps a year or two ago and they keep asking to make them again. Yours are great!
