Prairie Primer and lincoln logs

We are still making our way through the Little House on the Prairie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder with the Prairie Primer curriculum. This has been such a fun year the kids have learned about the 5 kingdoms, learning the states and their capitals, all about the human eye, how to sew, how frontier people lived, all about how the railroads changed the US, Braille, cooking and many many other things. We started getting the books on CD from our library so we could crochet while we all listened to the stories and the kids will also play with their Lincoln Logs while we listen and they have become very good at designing new log houses. Here are a few of my favorites!

Lincoln Logs

Our kids have really enjoyed playing with Lincoln Logs over the past couple of years and this year when Kevin's parents asked what they wanted they both told them Lincoln Logs and Grandpa ended up finding a pink set for Kenzie, wow was she so excited and happy about that! We are using the Prairie Primer curriculum this year which requires that you read all of the Little House books so while we listen to them on CD the kids play with their Lincoln Logs and I crochet. I was so happy to find these books on tape because I read to my kids ALL of the time and they read to me but this was something a little different for us and we have really enjoyed them. Do you have a favorite books series that you have listened to on tape or CD??? Let me know what it is. Over the summer I am thinking about trying to find The Chronicles of Narnia on CD!
