We spent a few days in March celebrating our western heritage. We had fun activities such as making our own mud paint, practicing writing letters of cowboy vocabulary and picture matching. We even had a horse and real saddle to sit on! The children could easily get on and off by themselves and they took full advantage of their independence. We had a few children dress in their cowboy/cowgirl duds, too. Even if families are not originally from this area, the children love learning about these culturally significant themes. Our culture is steeped in western roots of ranching and farming and livestock. Learning more about them gives children a sense of place, plus it's fun!
