3.0 out of 5 starsGet it for the History not the Projects
By Douglas Lonngren on June 17, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a great little book with lots of fun and interesting facts about the medieval period. I feel the projects were a bit weak, but overall the book might inspire a child or student to learn more and perhaps discover, or create, even better medieval projects to build.

The projects range from simple recipes to a fairly complex helmet made from plaster of Paris. Many of the projects can be made with materials at hand. The instructions for the projects are somewhat sparse, so additional guidance might be required for younger children who are not skilled at crafting. On the plus side, a lack of details allows more creativity and there is no pressure to make it look "just like the picture". The marshmallow cannon was a particular disappointment, nothing more than a marshmallow shooter (i.e. blowgun) made from PVC pipe, not even vaguely cannon-like.

So if you are just looking for medieval projects to build, skip this book and search out the many more interesting and detailed medieval projects available on-line.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for Middle Ages Unit Study
By Homeschooling mom of 2 creative girls on February 3, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Not only do you get wonderful projects with this book, but it also gives a nice view of history during that time period with small bits of how things were in that period. It comes with step by step instructions as well as pictures, vocabulary for each chapter. We are enjoying this book during our Middle Ages Unit. We are also using this along side Project Middle Ages by Homeschool in the Woods, which you can find at (...).homeschoolinthewoods.com and Knights and Castles by Williamson publishing

5.0 out of 5 starsTruly engaging projects
By Amazon Customer on October 14, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
My first grader loves having me read about the projects in this book. There's also a lot of good background information. I read her a little section about common phrases and now I hear her using them in her play!

5.0 out of 5 starsHistory, projects, and fun
By Brette Sember on November 2, 2012
Format: Paperback
This is a fantastic book for kids 3rd grade-7th grade. I love that it has tons and tons of history - and not just what you would expect. This goes beyond castles and kings to discuss pilgrims, the prophet Mohammed, monasteries, and food of the time period. It's more in depth than what my son learned in school. I thought the projects were creative and spanned a wide range. I love the cooking projects (almond milk, butter, pretzels) but there are also tons of building and craft projects (juggling sticks, grail, chain mail, thatched roof, helmet, trebuchet, etc) which are not just busy work, but designed to give kids a real feel for the time period. This is the book you want if your child has to do a project for school. This also makes a great gift for kids who are fascinated by knights, swords, and kings. If your family goes to a Rennaisance fest, this is something your kids will enjoy to help them remember the fun they had there! I thought the instructions were easy to follow and there's enough in this book for the pickiest kid to find something. Great book to keep around for a rainy day as well!
