Learn all about the table manners (not many!), food, and cooking of the Pilgrims. There are recipes that your family can cook together, providing a first-hand appreciation of the spices and foods that we take for granted these days. Ages 6 and up.
Younger Students:
When Bartholemew, Remember,
and Mary Allerton and their parents first step down from the Mayflower after
sixty days at sea, they never dream that life in the New World will be so hard.
Many in their Plymouth colony won't make it through the winter, and the colony's
first harvest is possible only with the help of two friends, Samoset and
Squanto. Richly detailed paintings show how the pilgrims lived after landing at
Plymouth, through the dark winter and into the busy days of spring, summer, and
fall. Culminating with the excitement of the original Thanksgiving feast, Three
Young Pilgrims makes history come alive. Recommended for ages 5 to
10.
