More on Old Testament History

After finishing up our investigation into dinosaurs (which we spent a few months on) we have been making faster progress through history. Our "real" history is being taken care of by Dad. He reads the sections outlined in the Greenleaf press old testament history guide each morning after breakfast. They take turns narrating the story. As far as I am concerned that is enough but it is fun to do some extra activities on the side. The following are snap shots of our fun with old testament history. A bit of notebooking, a bit of coloring. Sometimes a 3D model or a paper doll and a puppet skit. So now for the Garden of Eden...
