Continent Boxes and my Asia box




Continent boxes are really cool. Continent Boxes are sort of like treasure boxes- one for each continent- which contain maps, books, and artifacts from the countries on that continent. I have made an Asia box and I think it turned out pretty cool. There are images of Asia on the top and all over the sides I placed flags of the countries in Asia.
I love the Come Look With Me Art Books so when I saw the Asian Art I had to add that too. Of course you cannoy dare talk about Asia without chopsticks!




The map of Asia and the picture packs are of course about Asia. The packs contain famous landmarks, animals and plants.

These are books one for Japan and one for the Asia continent I found.






Of course my wonderful cool china learning pack is included that I purchased here. There are more pictures of mine here. I would love to buy a learning pack like this from every continent I think they are great. I have yet to make the other continents but this is a great start.

My new kit!!!

China Learning Kit
To learn more click on the image. I bought one a while ago while we were in the middle of moving and just recently opened it and explored. This thing is well put together and my kids LOVE it. They thought it was the neatest thing in the world to actually have stuff that came from China. They really loved the money and even the envelope itself was a big hit. I wish I had really looked this over before and blogged about it cause she did a great job!!!

The real interest in buying this is to add to my Asia continent box that I am working on and will blog all about that later. This kit is really cool and I hope anyone who buys one that their kids love it as much as mine!

Our 2nd week of school Aug 17-21

Back to school cookies and they were yummy!!! Skyler studies the letter M this week for moon and we read so many moon books I think I am good for many years to come on that subject!! The boys continued on with math and started spelling this week. It was a pretty peaceful week that we finished off with a nice long walk Friday night and building school buses at Lowe's this morning.


Our first week Aug 10-14

While alot of this week had been alot of review they did some new things too. Like baking sunbread what fun that was!! They also went to get checked for new glasses. We took alot of pics that you can find here. All in all I would say a great first easy week back. Skyler will finally complete her My Fathers World K and the boys starting out easy with just some math.
