Good to know

Small, complete, and ready today.

The unit is split into three short "bites," so you can stop after any one of them. Activities need only paper and a pencil: no food, no carving, and nothing to assemble. Great for homeschool holiday studies, elementary social studies, and fall learning at home or in the classroom.
