Pioneer Farm Museum

Our last field trip was sooo fun! We enjoyed experiencing the life of a pioneer and northwest Native American kid.  Here is a photo gallery of some of our experiences.

Making a broom handle

Sawing sticks
 
Pumping water
 
Learning all the chores

Washing clothes is a group effort.
 
Grinding grains

Churning butter and grinding cornmeal = Tired arms!


Pioneer girl!

Kids must know all the animals in the forest and how to use all the parts before being able to hunt.
 
Hand and eye coordination games
Bow and arrow
Toss the hoop to a friend (no hands!). Good hand and eye coordination practice!

Fire making!

Practicing throwing a spear (stick through a hoop)

Game to practice catching fish (toss the hoop onto the peg)

Silly kids in the school house!
