Ancient Africa turned into a fun family mealtime since my sister was home from Africa with her husband and son. As my sister says, we made an Americanized version of an African meal or something you might get in the hotels in Africa, but definitely not a traditional meal. Mac actually helped with most of it.We made a beef stew with extras like coconut, boiled eggs, pineapple chutney, cucumber, peanuts to sprinkle on, plus as suggested in the book (not by my sister's account of Africa) we made fried plantains.
We tried the one stringed plucker craft out of the tissue box and rubber bands- not a big hit here. And we also made an African type of mask, which was perfect because the Atelier craft was a mask that week!
Read a ton of books and liked them all! Anansi the Spider, Zomo the Rabbit, Rhinos for Lunch and Elephants for Supper, Pot of Wisdom, Anansi and the Magic Stick, Monkey Business, Audiobook Tales from Cultures Far and Near (not liking these so much at this age).
