We have been studying Canada for the past 2 weeks and have really enjoyed out time! We had 2 family nights celebrating Canada...
The first family night we made a traditional Canadian dessert. It was a blueberry crumble with a "snowball" on the side. The "snowball" is a favorite treat in Canada...but of course...it's made with real ice! We settled for ice cream!
We took the ice cream and then molded it into a ball...then we topped it with warm maple syrup!
This was one YUMMY dessert!!!! We can't wait to have it again!
The next family night, we enjoyed one of the traditional activities of the Inuit people. Those are the native Canadians and they are known for their soapstone carvings. We made sketches of Canadian animals and then carved them out of soap.
We all enjoyed time carving. We used butter knives and nails to do our carving and detail design. They turned out GREAT!
Here Anli's walrus and my whale pose in front of the Igloo (what the Inuit people used to live in during the winter...we made those one day during school). Do you see the cutie smile Anli's walrus has? Too cute! Also, she made him a little chair and pillow. That girl makes me smile!
Virginia's precious little polar bear hands out with Daddy's warrior. Maybe not the best pair...but no Canadian animals were harmed during these photos:)
