A comprehensive look at World War II, this activity book encourages children to re-create life in the 1940s while learning about compassion, teamwork, and sacrifice. Touching upon nearly every aspect of the war?from the leadership of Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt to the invention of new military technologies?a clear understanding of the causes and effects of World War II is provided through the hands-on creation of period-specific implements. Activities include "Making a Papier-Mâché Bank," "Tabletop Victory Garden," "Flip Book," "Spy Message Hidden in a Deck of Cards," "Soldier's Care Package," "Fake Footprint Mold," "Victory Jewelry Pin," and "Ration book."

Fantastic Book for leaning WWII History - while having fun!

What a great book to teach children about WWII while having fun at the same time! I highly recommend this book to parents (and teachers!)who want to involve their children in entertaining, stimulating activities that engage the mind as well as the hands. Extremely well written, with easy to perform projects. Excellent job!

Excellent Resource

The author has synthesized the history of WWII into an informative and fun easy-to-read activity book. I highly recommend this resource for children and adults.

learning can be fun!

I used this book with my middle school social studies classes. It was the state testing week,and I wanted to continue the curriculum but not ruffle any feathers with more concepts. We were in the middle of our World War II unit. I selected some of the projects that we did in small groups, individually or with the whole class as an extension of our regular curriculum. We made silly putty, folded origami cranes, made WWII airplanes, and THE BEST was the individual recreations of the Rosie the Riveter propaganda poster. Each student posed as Rosie,and now I have a great set of things to display for our spring open house. The information in the book is entertaining to read, and the projects are simple, doable, and beneficial. I would highly suggest any social studies teacher of any level (elementary-high school) take a look at this book.
