Hmmm…I’ve seen the movie…and T read the book, and saw the movie…but I don’t think the rest of the children have – good one for the list!
Oh yes, it’s perfect for your brand of schooling, they’d get so much inspiration for topics to go off on tangents.
I heard about the book and the movie, but didn’t read/watch it. Perhaps daughter is approaching the age where she might enjoy it. I love how you let your kids just try the projects their own way without trying to rescue them from wrong choices. I really need to get better at this!
She probably would enjoy it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s required reading in a year or two for school.
There are times I want to rescue them, but then I realize that if I do, it’s not their project, but mine.
I love the snacks!! I loved this book when I was younger! Thanks for the reminder, I need to add it to my library list!
You’re welcome. It was really fun rereading the book as an adult.
We’re doing Native Americans next term concentrating on the Ojibway tribe. Would this book be worth including do you think?
Not for any historical information for the Ojibway, but I think your kids will enjoy it if you do read it. Little Bear is from the Iroquois tribe and comes from the French and Indian War, so he might also be from a different time period than the Ojibway.
Oh my gosh, how cute and creative are your snacks. I love them
Thanks! They’re not the best made, but there’s a lot of love in them 🙂
I need to get a copy of this book for Emma. I like your discussion questions!
Thanks! (I thought I’d commented earlier, oops), I think Emma would really enjoy it.
Aw, architecture and construction – I love this activity. Kids are very brave to try and build with different materials!
It’s always interesting to see what kids will choose to try and use.
I read this book in school (sorry, trip down memory lane in progress! lol!) I love the snacks to go with it – how fun!
I read the book as a child, and am planning to read it with my daughter, niece, and nephew, then watch the movie. Now, I’m not sure about bothering with the movie at all. I was so annoyed at the unnecessary changes made to The City of Ember, I’d hate to chance it after reading your review of Indian in the Cupboard movie. Hmm. Thanks for the great ideas – the snacks look fab! – and your honest review of the book vs the movie.
It does follow the general plotline of the book, but now that we’ve watched a lot of books made into movies, there’s a lot of them that just don’t follow the book at all. It’s really rather depressing.
