Pilgrim activity day

Thank you to all our parent volunteers who helped us prepare for our feast. We made necklaces, belts, pockets, napkins, and placemats to use at Rocky Woods. We hope to see you Friday! 

Busy making necklaces. Our necklaces will represent wampum at Rocky Woods.
We made pockets to put on our belts. Pilgrim men, women, and children would use pockets to keep flint for starting fires and marbles for playing games in their pockets. Our pocket will hold the napkin we use at the feast. 

Did you know that the pilgrims ate mostly with their fingers? It was important for them to have their napkin. We made our napkins with stamping.

Making placemats! It was hard to hard to do all that weaving!
Our last activity was belt braiding. Our belt will be used to hold our pocket! Yes we all learned how to braid!
