We're studying the Vikings in our overview of civilizations through the ages. (They got their name from the term describing their exploring ~ "e-viking.") The boys colored these boats and I helped them cut them out and assemble them. They turned out pretty well. We learned that it was the Vikings who probably discovered North America hundreds of years before Columbus. (Newfoundland) We also learned that the Native Americans were more tough than the brawny Vikings and scared them off and kept them from settling. Cool stuff to think about and ponder. I wonder if the boys will remember any of this when they are older.
