RE: Little House on the Prairie Gift Ideas Post By (Guest Post) (12/21/2006) So, what did you and your son end up making? Just curious. I think this is a very good project for the teacher to have assigned.

You could google Old Sturbridge Village Kids and find the Jumping Jack and other crafts (and Games) for kids. I am sure your son would love to make the jumping jack and will probably want one fo himself , too. RE: Little House on the Prairie Gift Ideas Post By Sandy from WI (Guest Post) (12/13/2006) It's me again. I googled Jumping Jacks and found a cool site that tells how to make one. To Build a Jumping Jack check out http://www.osv.org/kids/crafts14.htm or google for it yourself Have Fun! RE: Little House on the Prairie Gift Ideas Post By Sandy from WI (Guest Post) (12/13/2006) Little House In the Big Woods is one of the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. She live in the Big Woods before she moved to the prairie. The big woods is in Pepin, WI about midways up and very near the Mississippi River. The prairie is in Minnesota, near Sleepy Eye and Walnut Grove. Now for a toy--my Grandpa used to make these cool Jumping Jacks. I was going to tell you how to make them , but I would have to see it again at my Mom's house. But, a simple project for your child might be to make paper dolls and paper clothes for the dolls.

It is something you and your son could do together and would be really fun. RE: Little House on the Prairie Gift Ideas Post By Darlene (Guest Post) (12/13/2006) I found these suggestions on the internet. Hope it gives you some ideas. INDOOR GAMES (or activities that were not as active) spinning tops Jack Straws hand shadows I Spy hot and cold charades ball and jacks marbles checkers cards Tic Tac Toe ( Xs and Os) Cat's Cradle (string games) You could make your own checkers using cardboard for the gameboard and rocks for the checkers. You could make the Tic Tac Toe gameboard and make the Xs and Os out of household items. Good luck.
