Customer Reviews

Kids' America=Fun
This is a favorite from my childhood. My brother and I pored over its pages in search of games to play, things to build, art, or scary stories. Each section links the activities to American history or how this is a part of American life. A great resource for home schoolers.

Great book for anyone who interacts with children!!!!
This book is a great resource for the "all american" crafts. The little history that the book gives on each craft is a great learning tool for childen of all ages. I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with children from the sunday school teacher to the scout leader.

A GREAT handbook for any upper elementary teacher
Make Cheese? Make and use a quill pen? Learn to do handwriting analysis? A thick repository of kid curious topics that makes a great source for anyone who shares the spirit of the young adolescent. I have used this book as a resource for almost twenty years. Makes a great gift for that aspiring student teacher!
