Make A Quilt Square
Contributed By
Description
Quilts do more than just keep us warm; they preserve history by telling us stories about the people who made them. In this hands-on activity, taken from the OurStory series produced by the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, students will learn about quilts then will make a quilt square in honor of a person who is important to them. OurStory is a program designed to help children and adults enjoy exploring history together through the use of objects from the museum's vast collections, quality children's literature, and engaging hands-on activities. Ideal for afterschool use, OurStory resources will allow students to think critically, be creative and achieve academic standards both in and out of the classroom. Less
