I am helping my 7 year old nephew with a project ... kinda. I think this one is interesting. He has to decorate a shoebox about the state he is from, and fill this shoebox with things that relate to the state. This is interesting because this is a school on an air force base with kids coming from all over, so they should have lots of variety.
I have gathered materials (brochures) from the welcome center here, and have printed out pictures for him (that him and his mom have found online, they're printer broke thanks to the moving people). I've also gathered up some small local products to include. Once I mail it, my part is done. My sister is going to show him how to use her Cricut to write a few things. He is going to do the decorating, and he has to know about everything/most of what he includes since he has to present it to his class.
This is a fun project. Our grade school does this at the end of the school year & each kid is assigned a state. (I think it is 4th grade.) The kids make floats out of the shoe boxes (either with wheels or attached to a skateboard- whatever they want) and they have a USA parade. All of the parents come to watch the kids drag their floats through the parking lot. :giggles:
