Civil War Days: Discover the Past With Exciting Projects, Games, Activities and Recipes

Eleven-year-old Emily Parkhurst and twelve-year-old Timothy Wheeler are eager to share the fun, adventure, and hard work of their daily lives. Along the way, they'll show you how to play the games they play and make the toys and crafts they make. Make your own apple pandowdy and whip up a batch of tasty gingerbread. Send top-secret messages in Morse code, gather materials for crafting evergreen wreaths and pinecone turkeys, and sculpt a miniature sheep out of homemade clay dough. Play the exciting African game Mancala--that is, if you have time after making your own potato print wrapping paper, papier mache bowl, and marzipan decorations. This is an excellent book for upper-elementary students studying this time period.

This series of books is one of the best I have found as an educator and homeschooling parent. It gives a very every-day look at life during the time period along with activities and recipes used by children at that time. I appreciate it being from a child's point of view. Super series! I highly recommend them.
