      Loads of info

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I purchased several Pioneer books recently in preparation for a Pioneer unit that my homeschool coop was having. This book is my favorite. It has lots of practical, fun ideas and projects. Some books have "kid friendly projects" but then I wonder "for whose kid??" This book delivers! Definitely worth a look!

      homeschooling about the west. It has lots of nice crafts to do. Although, the fort they had an example did not work for us. We had to improvise with lots of hot glue.

      This book brings the Pioneer life into *our* lives.

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      PIONEER DAYS is a wonderful hands-on approach to teaching our children the pioneer lifestyle. The book follows a ficticious family thru the year 1843 and allows you to learn with your children what life on the homestead was like, including crafts, recipes, games and more. I would recommend it to homeschoolers especially as a good source for pioneer study. It has a good bibliography in the back for additional readings...
