Hands & Hearts C includes four delightful projects that give your children a glimpse of the world in days gone by. Here's what you'll experience:

Japanese Kokeshi Doll
Dolls are important in Japanese culture, are often passed down from a previous generation, and may be quite valuable. Kokeshi are small wooden dolls with simple bodies. This kit lets you make two of your choice (girl or boy).

Hands On Painting Activity

Telling Time with Candles
There was no Apple watch in medieval days. There were, however, candlemakers. Not only will you create a candlestick fit for royalty, you'll also see how burning candles can be used to mark the passage of time.
Colorful Mandala

Historically made by Tibetan monks, mandalas are round, with intricate pictures made from colored sand. It's customary for mandalas to be destroyed after two days. You'll make yours on sturdy cardstock, so you can keep it around longer.
Trading on the Frontier
Long before malls and Internet shopping, people traded things they caught, shot or grew. On the frontier, furs (especially beaver) were in great demand. You'll consult a centuries-old estate document to learn how items were valued. Trade some salt for a deer hide?

"Learning through literature enables my kids to feel like they know the characters and to gain a deeper understanding of the past and the world around them. We considered going back to a textbook approach for high school, but after one tedious chapter in a history book, we were reminded what a difference Sonlight makes. My younger kids could answer the test questions better than my high schooler who read the textbook because they'd been reading about the same period in The Story of the World. Making history come alive is a much better way to learn!"

"Sonlight has been a blessing to our family," says Carla P of Upper Marlboro, MD. "The living books bring so much joy and depth to our homeschool days. The best part of Sonlight is that it fosters deep and meaningful interaction and bonds, along with a great education. Being a military family, we move a lot, and it helps our kids adjust to bring their old 'friends' (books) with them!" Pictured, Ava (9) celebrates Box Day. The P family has been homeschooling for five years, Sonighting for two.

Every year, I think 'this is my favorite History / Bible / Literature,' and every following year, the new one blows me away all over again," writes Allison H of Bridgeport, WV. "I have yet to part with any of our Sonlight books, and we've all enjoyed rereading many of the earlier Readers and Read-Alouds. Sonlight has given my children a broad view of the world and a deep connection with each other." Pictured, Seth (13), Ruthie (9), and Hadley (11) enjoy a history lesson while getting ready for the day. The H family has been Sonlighting for seven years.
