This post with instructions for building a model tabernacle is updated from the original post made in 2008! It’s astounding to me that it has been that long since we made this model. This project is probably the most memorable of all 19 years of homeschooling. Here are the basic materials and methods we used …
OK, I know it is ridiculous to be so tired so early into the school year, but this week really wore me out! Part of it is because I think I may have overscheduled myself. (OK, I know I have.) You remember that old commercial where the guy is at his desk saying, “I can …
My 8 year old daughter completed weaving a small doll blanket using a 14 inch cardboard square for a loom. We made the loom by making a small mark every 1/4 inch along 2 opposite sides of the cardboard. Then I cut a 3/4 inch slit with scissors to line up with each mark. Here’s …
We have been learning about the tabernacle in our Tapestry of Grace studies. And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. (Ex. 25:8) We built a model tabernacle to reinforce our learning and I think this was our most fun project ever! Our model The altar and the laver And …

Yesterday we had our first Tapestry of Grace (TOG) co-op meeting. We went over weeks 1 and 2 of Year 1 Unit 1 which is Egypt. The day went extremely well considering all of us are new to TOG and co-ops of this kind. We started off with salt dough maps of either Egypt or …
We completed the World War I lapbook from Hands of a Child on Friday. I appreciated having their resource guide. I basically used their guide to teach the material. We listened to Story of the World, watched Sergeant York, and read a few supplementary books as well. This was the first HOAC lapbook that we …
Here are pictures from my 9 yo son’s and 7 yo daughter’s lapbooks. We used a couple of books from Hands of a Child’s Missionary Pack and then pulled in a few things about the Kalahari Dessert. Overall I am really pleased with them. The perfectionist in me thinks they should have done some things …
