We made some decorative necklaces using paper plates. I think a beaded activity might be more fun here though, these were a little too easy!

We learned about 6 animals found in Kenya, and if you haven’t noticed, my kids seem to be getting wilder and wilder as we go through these.

My preschooler actually did a little handwriting on the animal cards this week, but typically she just colors the cover and cuts them out.

  1. Hi Erica, I am going to begin using EE sometime this summer. I noticed that you reference reading in Usborne Encyclopedia of World Geography several times. In your opinion is this a book that is worth investing in? I am attempting to get a budget together for my hubs, and am wondering if I should include this book too. Thanks!

  3. Ok, Erica, this is totally off topic question. I noticed your daughters Keepers of the Home shirt. I'm thinking of starting a Keepers group next fall. How do you like it? Also, I've been getting everything ready for us to use Expedition Earth next year…SO excited!
