Paper Lamas {Latin American Craft for Kids}

One of the books I checked out from the library on Latin American crafts had templates for making these cute paper lamas.  The kids LOVED them.  They ended up making about two dozen of these in different colors and played with them all week.  Sometimes the simplest things are just as entertaining as the most elaborate homeschool lesson plans!

Molas craft {South America unit}

In our two-week unit on South America and Mesoamerica, we read a lot of traditional folktales from those regions and made crafts inspired by tradition handiwork from different countries.  The molas (blouses) of the Kuna women are just gorgeous, and the girls enjoyed making their own versions out of paper..
