Life has been so busy that I am just now getting around to posting what the little ones learned in History 2 weeks ago! We were talking about the Sumerians and made Sumerian tablets. Did you know that the Sumerian alphabet has 600 letters? They made schools just for people to learn the alphabet! The kids had a blast making the tablets and even the older sibling got involved helping the younger ones. As you can tell, we are still loving Mystery of History!
We used the Salt Dough recipe that we used for the last project, instead of polymer clay.
You can find that recipe HERE.
Both of the kids designed their own tablets. Samuel chose his name and a smiley face. Older sister, enjoyed writing on the tablet for them.
Claire also chose her name and then decided to poke holes all around the tablet. An original design as well. 🙂
Like I said before, we are loving Mystery of History and really thank them a lot for allowing us the opportunity to use their curriculum. I am looking forward to using more of Bright Ideas Press curriculum!
p.s. I apologize for the poor pictures. I am still learning to take pictures inside!
great idea!!!
So fun! We did this with sugar cookie dough! But once the dough baked, the writing disappeared so it was kind of a flop – but a yummy flop at that! 🙂
