Heading North

To round out our study of North America, we headed north.  We had fun looking at pictures of beautiful Canada, talking about maple trees, mounties and of course Vancouver (Olympics are still fresh in their memory).  But what the boys really loved doing was exploring the lives of eskimo's and what it's like in the far, far north!   Living in the Arizona desert oven right now, it was so pleasant to think of cooler places! :)

Building igloo's was a must!

They weren't incredibly stable, but they lasted for a day or two of creative play with these fun arctic figurinesthat I found at Joann's.   (I love my 40% off coupons!)

Yes, we feel cooler already...

We enjoyed these cool reads while we sat in our wet swimsuits under the fan!
