Our next homeschoolhistory for kidsunit focuses on Medieval Times.
I love planning and preparing huge history units for our homeschool!
So here is one of my kids all time favorite history units middle ages for kids!
This helped set the time period, create interest, and was a LOT of fun!
We have been saving Amazon, Honest Company, and a filing cabinet for a while now.
you’re free to of course make yours bigger or smaller depending on how many boxes you have.
Then I taped the boxes together slightly with packing tape to give them a little support.
I cut out our draw bridge & window from guard tower.Next I spray painted the front only.
Ideally I would have done this outside, but it was winter!
I had drop clothes down and windows open to help with the fumes.
Medieval Costumes
Dressing up is part of the fun!!
The kids dyed silks to make Minnie a princess hat.

For starters, you didnt have a fork you used a knife and your fingers.
In the castle there were many cooks who cooked over fire and served many in the great hall.
