Customer Reviews

High interest activities for students of all ages.

Although the activites in this series are geared to elementary students, they can be adapted and used effectively with any age group. What better way to learn than through hands-on activities? I have used these activites successfully with students in grades 6-8, but must admit that I have enjoyed them every bit as much as my students! If you want your students to have a deeper understanding of and appreciation for Northwest Coast Indian art, then these books are for you. Instead of merely observing art, students will relish the opportunity to create it themselves.

Wonderful introduction to Native American traditions and art

This is a wonderful book for children to learn about Native American traditions and crafts. I first read it in fourth grade, and in ninth grade used the pattern for a button blanket of my own for a Washington State History project!
