Homeschool Art Project: Soap Carving

The Butterfly and I have been reading the Little House series for a long time now and I wanted to expand a bit on what she was learning. So first,  I bought the Prairie Primer,  an amazing, enormous, literature based unit study based on the series. I keep taking it off the shelf, looking at […]
