A home for Tandy

Last week in our homeschool co-op, the boys heard a story about a little elf named Tandy who did not have a home during the winter. In the story, his forest friends ended up building him a home when none of their homes suited him.

Yesterday, after Main Lesson, Blake decided he wanted to make a home for Tandy. All the boys participated together...everyone contributed something to the home. They spent about 45 minutes working on it and were so proud of the outcome!

Here is Tandy's home with a roof.

Tandy's home without a roof. There is a little garden off to the side with a flower and a tree (minus leaves of course!)

They also added some boulders to the garden for Tandy and his friends to climb on.

I thought it turned out beautifully!
