Kids can learn about American history by making topical crafts.
When you are teaching young children about the native peoples of America, you can make the lessons more exciting and interactive by giving the kids a craft project related to the topic. For example, create Indian headdresses that the students can wear during the history lessons. Kids can either make a small headdress with feathers sticking upward, or a long headdress that contains feathers that drape down the child's back.
Instructions
1. Measure around your head with a tape measure, and notate the number.
2. Cut out two rectangular strips from poster board that each measure 3 inches high, and the notated measurement long.
3. Decorate both strips using markers.
4. Curl each of the strips into a ring, and staple each ring to secure it into place.
5. Make a small headdress by gluing feathers around one of the rings.
6. Make a long headdress by stapling a 12-inch ribbon onto the edge, then gluing feathers around the ring and down the length of the ribbon.
