Pioneer Crafts

We were on the road for the 24th of July but the children got some excitement during the week before to make up for it. All across the states the kids were singing, "Pioneer children sang as they walked and walked and walked...." Grandma worked with the kids on a few different crafts.
First they did pinhole pictures out of aluminum foil
#1 Girl working on hers


#2 Boy showing off his -the handcart - he did the wheel.
(#3 Girl's is the bottom one... it ended up looking like a starry night)

Another craft Grandma helped them create. They used the faces of a couple of our ancestors and created children and their handcart while Grandma told them about the family.

One of the Indians that the pioneers met. Just Teasing! #2 Boy found some berries up on the tree and smashed them to paint his face.
