World Traveler's Day~Iceland

Our homeschool co-op group schedules a fun monthly activity called World Traveler's Club. Each month a parent or two organizes a visit to another country. I've done Australia last year with another co-op mom and husband team, and last week I did Iceland by myself and had lots of fun, too.

First the kids made Viking Turf Houses, and then the kids shared their volcano project/presentations. We followed that with my reading an Icelandic Folk tale called, "Flumbra" where I had the kids participate with fun props. Our last activity involved eating some Icelandic style food, such as "Blood Pudding" (red colored strawberry yogurt), "Love Balls" (Mini-donuts), and dark rye bread.

Here are some pics from our day:
