Books

I’m having a hard time coping with being confined to home, sorry there are no pictures in this post.

• “The peace tree from hiroshima : A Little Bonsai with a Big Story,” Sandra Moore, Overdrive,
• For tweens and up, “Samurai rising : The Epic Life of Minamoto Yoshitsune,” Pamela S Turner, Overdrive
• “The way of the samurai : Geronimo Stilton Series, Book 49,” Geronimo Stilton, Overdrive
• “Ninjas and samurai : A Nonfiction Companion to Magic Tree House #5: Night of the Ninjas,” Mary Pope Osborne, Overdrive

Activities

• Origami crafts: wearable samurai hat out of newspaper or some good luck paper cranes.  Extra activity: see how small you can make these origami creations? Can you make one out of a Starburst wrapper, for example?
• Samurai coloring pages
• Design our own family crest after samurai family crests
