over 100 Activities From The Middle Ages Are Presented For Children. Directions And Pictures Are Included For Making Clothes (hats, Wigs, Ruffs, Tiaras, Jewelry, Helmet, Ladies' Favors), Crafts (sand Glass, Sundial, Soap, Coins), Food (trenchers, Tarts, Blackbird Pie, Mead, Gingerbread), Projects (knit Bags, Coats Of Arms, Dolls, Magic Tricks), And Games (alquerque, Draughts, Fox & Geese, 9 Men's Morris). Sketchy Drawings Leave Room For Interpretation Of Fabrics Or Designs And Give Children Basic Ideas On Which To Build. Most Materials Are Easy To Find And Many Of The Projects Are Modest And Simple Enough For Children As Young As Five (but, As A Result, Insulting To 10 Year Olds). The Author's Choice Of Projects Makes This Book Seem Most Suited To Seven- To Ten-year-olds; Teachers Of Older Or Younger Students May Want To Pick And Choose. Most Projects Come With A Paragraph Or Two Telling How Or Why The Activity Was Important To People In The Middle Ages. All In All, A Decent Jump-start To Creative Interpretation Of Life In The Middle Ages And A Helpful Augmentation To Elementary School Medieval Studies.
