| These feathered headdresses are so much fun to make and to wear! Children love to decorate them and add Honor markings to them. This craft also provides a great opportunity to talk with children about living a life that is honorable, righteous, and worthy of reward. |
| Step 1 Cut the brown paper in half lengthwise. This is to make the headband. |
| Step 4 Cut out some feather shapes from construction paper. |
| Step 3 Wrap the paper into a circle and make sure it's going to fit your head! Don't staple it yet, we're going to add things to it first. |

| IF YOU.... lived with the Sioux Indians In question- and-answer style, the author describes the daily life of the Sioux before and after the coming of the white man. Boys and girls will be surprised to know that each child had a second mother and father who helped take care of him... that everyone had his own "medicine bundle" to keep danger away... that the men sometimes had more than one wife... that a boy was expected to hunt his first buffalo calf before he was ten years old. They'll discover what happened to someone who broke the rules of a considered the bravest thing a Sioux Indian could do, and the ritual ceremonies at which children were accepted as adults. In a final section the author explains what is happening to these Indians today. Click Here for sample pages |
| Step 2 Tape the two strips together end to end. Then fold over. |
| Heritage Studies Grade 1 This craft is inspired by the book we are using for Social Studies. If you'd like more information on the different Homeschool books we're using in our classroom, please visit this page in our site. |
for Kids.
- Read about the Sioux tribes, and the
different markings on the feathers. - Talk with children about the purpose of
the markings, and the levels of honor
they represent. - Read Matthew 5:12, and talk with
children about the crowns God will
reward us with. Be careful to explain
that we don't receive salvation because
of our good works, salvation is a gift.
Here are some more verses to read:
Revelation 3:11 2 John 1:7-8
