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

Bamboo Flute

Also known as a penny whistle, the flute was a popular toy for early American children. You'll personalize your bamboo flute in the Native American—style, with leather and glass crow beads. Pay attention to the rules about beads to be as authentic as possible.
Copybook
Back in "the olden days," paper was scarce and children did their school work in small notebooks called copybooks. You'll make your own parchment-paper copybook, mix up some ink, and write with a white-feather pen to re-create the old-school experience.
Fun with Marbles

A popular game for centuries, both Native American and colonial children played with marbles. In early days, they were made of clay or stone. After you learn the basics of this addictive and challenging game, try not to lose your marbles.
Panning for Gold
Did you know that there's still "gold in them thar hills" across America today? Should you decide to go on a future mining adventure, you'll learn some panning techniques that could help you find your own pot o' gold.

"We chose Sonlight because Amelia (5) and Edith (3) have always loved reading," writes Amanda F of Stockdale, NC. "Our Sonlight boxes arrived, and Amelia immediately began to flip through her new books. Her curiosity made her eager to start kindergarten! The program has beyond lived up to my expectations. I love that all the hard work has already been done for me; I simply open my Instructor's Guide and go! Amelia's 3-year-old sister Edith loves participating in school with Amelia. Science has been their favorite subject because of the experiments, and Edith feels so grown up doing the same assignments as Amelia."

"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!" In their family's ninth year of Sonlight, Anna (11, Level 100) and Ellie (8, Level D) are eager to open their Box Day treasure.– Bethany N of Yorktown, TX

"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.
