Workbox Wednesday, Columbus Day edition

They're not all related to Columbus Day, but here are some highlights from last week's workboxes:

Kumon Let's Cut Paper pages


Melissa & Doug World Map Floor Puzzle



Three ships coloring page



Asterix the Gladiator (soon to be followed by others in the series)



The Discovery of the Americas tells more than just the story of Columbus (authors: Betsy and Giulio Maestro)



Draw Write Now, Volume 2






Latin worksheet and flash cards



What serves for logic these days: Mind Benders from Critical Thinking Press


Workboxes are still making our days run pretty darn smoothly, though the almost-five-year-old has lost a bit of interest, unless there's play-dough or Playmobil in his boxes. But he did come running when he heard Jim Weiss reading Story of the World this afternoon (Rome finally fell today, YEAH!), and his conversations are still full of words like "illustration" and "adjective," so I think we're okay.

Looks great! This reminds me to go find my dd's Kumon cutting book and to go pull out our Jim Weiss Tall Talkes CD.

Thanks for stopping by, Mozer and Honey. Honey, I've used some of your clothespin activities--you are a wonderful workbox resource!

I love the workboxes. You will love Astrix. I found a bunch of copies at a library sale to the delight of family members.
