Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 5–Symbols, great places, history, traditions, and holidays are introduced along with related crafts. Ideas include many paper, glue, and crayon projects, some scientific observations such as making a mini-waterfall to understand Niagara Falls, historical games, and an assembly line to celebrate Henry Ford. Pen-and-ink cartoons often illustrate finished products. Teachers and parents looking for material to extend the study of American history will find both the text and projects useful.–Kathryn Kosiorek, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OH

Big ideas for little kids!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Little Hands Celebrate America!: Learning about the U.S.A. Through Crafts & Activities (Little Hands Book) (Paperback)
I've always wondered how to teach about the USA in a meaningful way to my first graders. Now I've got this outstanding guide. Activities are "cute" without being shallow. It's got history, geography, American symbols, principles and values. What a great resource!
