Eleven-year-old Emily Parkhurst and twelve-year-old Timothy Wheeler are eager to share the fun, adventure, and hard work of their daily lives. Along the way, they'll show you how to play the games they play and make the toys and crafts they make. Make your own apple pandowdy and whip up a batch of tasty gingerbread. Send top-secret messages in Morse code, gather materials for crafting evergreen wreaths and pinecone turkeys, and sculpt a miniature sheep out of homemade clay dough. Play the exciting African game Mancala--that is, if you have time after making your own potato print wrapping paper, papier mache bowl, and marzipan decorations. This is an excellent book for upper-elementary students studying this time period.
