Today we studied the stone age hunters of 10,000 b.c. Here are a couple of our hunters in their "animal skin" tent:
We tried to make tools like they did, so Malachi is working on cutting the piece of animal skin (a.k.a string) for his bow using a sharp rock that we found.
Here, our hunter is in action with his bow and arrow... Later he threw a harpoon too.
Karis is gathering berries using the tool she made.
Our history book, A Street Through Time, provided a lot of food for our imaginations today as we tried to make and use tools like stone age hunters. Malachi went outside on his own while the other two kids were napping and worked on his tools and Karis asked me tonight when I was tucking her in, "Mommy tomorrow after we do school and do our reading and math and coloring, can we go outside and do stuff like those...uh... what were they called again?" I never know what will get their wheels turning.
