Around the World Art & Activities: Visiting the 7 Continents Through Craft Fun (Williamson Little Hands Series)

I homeschool my children and bought this book as a part of our curriculum for this year. The book provides art & activities for children to create that are either popular or representative of art & activities created around the world in different continent & countries. A journey through the book will take you through North America, The Pacific Islands & Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, Central & South America, and Antarctica. My kids are ages 5, 5 and 8. The content of the book is age appropriate and my kids enjoy the activities, but the book is somewhat boring for children to look through and explore on their own, in their efforts to do some independent activities. The book is all black and white writing and illustrations. Having color throughout the book would entice children to explore the book on their own more and perhaps learn to create things on their own as well.The activities do have clear instructions and lists of all supplies needed, most of which you can find lying around your house. Many of these projects and ideas can also be found through searching the internet or pinterest for similar activities related to the countries you are exploring. All in all though, I am glad that I have this book to help me with ideas and projects, even if my children do not explore the book/activities on their own.

Update: seller provided a refund. Excellent customer service.Book is great which is why I give it 5 stars. The bad: I bought this as a part of my homeschool curriculum and the binding is coming apart to the point that one page was just sitting inside and fell out when i was walking with the book. Luckily I found it because of course it is one of the activities I needed. I'm glad I have all of the pages but I would expect it to be in better shape as I bought it because the description said "VERY GOOD" condition.

Studying the continents, this will allow us to do crafts to go with each country.

We paired this book with "Children Just Like Me: A Unique Celebration of Children Around the World " and it works marvelously. We are a homeschooling family and we use both books to read about different cultures and people from around the world and then we do an activity for that place. It's really fun and a great way to learn, hands-on. There are really some great activities in here. You could probably find most of the somewhere online but this is so convenient to have and be able to look things up quickly. I would recommend it to others.

I love this book because it gave me a lot of craft ideas for my multicultural family night. However, a lot of things take time to prep because it doesn't provide the printable for any of the crafts. Still a great resource!

When you are looking for information on a country and you want an art activity to go with it, this is the book for you.This book has information you can use when teaching, and there are simple art activities that you can give the children to increase their understanding of the subject. Excellent for both the teacher and the children.

our 6 year old enjoys the crafts and learning about the continents. the projects definitely need supervision, but we love doing them. after purchasing this, we checked out the science book from the library.

These have a lot of good art ideas for introducing your children to different countries but the book is a little outdated.

A

lots of great things to do
