Hi {firstname},
A few weeks ago, I showed you how to make "worry dolls" -- actually dolls that remove your worries while you sleep.
Now here is a pretty box to hold your worry dolls during the day, so that they are well rested in the evening. You can make this box from an empty Camembert cheese box.
Today, the Animaplates YouTube channel got its 20,000th subscriber! A warm welcome to all those who found our website through YouTube, and thank you for your support.
I have to tell you about the Canadian Museum of History located in Gatineau (across the river from Ottawa). It is housed in a magnificent building designed by Douglas Cardinal, a famous aboriginal architect who also designed several other public buildings, including the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC.
The Canadian Museum of History includes a very nice Children's Museum. Unfortunately, the museums are closed to the public because of the pandemic, but you can visit several virtual exhibitions as part of the Museum at Home section. I particularly liked the History Scavenger Hunt, that draws parallels between everyday household artifacts and their historical equivalents in the museum.
The Museum's website also contains Educational Resources and lesson plans.
