I loved this book, and the other books in the series, for completing a good, fun, study of American Colonial History. I highly recommend this book! The activities were fun and simple and well researched!

I home school my son and needed to find a book that would help him understand what life was like in during the colonial days. This book proved to be the perfect fit. It has great activities and he is continually asking to do more projects. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for some fun with their kids.

There is no better way to learn about history than to share in the day to day lifestyles that the people endured. Colonial Days: Discover the Past with Fun Projects, Games, Activities, and Recipes (American Kids in History Series) is an overflowing resource that will teach your child enough to delight him in the experience of learning more!

This is a perfect learning tool, and most importantly, it is lots and lots of fun!

The projects in this book are very do-able, even for smaller children. Most of them do require adult help.

The explanationas and the short bits of text give just the right amount of information for children to understand. Includes games (horseshoes, jacks, stick games) -- that's what we like best about this book.

I purchased this book to use in a 3rd grade classroom. I will not be able to use these projects for 20 students. However, if you are doing the projects at home with your kids then this book will work for you.
