Knitting needle set or crochet hook set Giveaway by: eKnittingNeedles.com

Another fabulous giveaway! Josh, of eknittingneedles.com is offering a complete set of bamboo knitting needles or crochet hooks, “you pick and choose”! I now own several sets and I am so impressed with these needles and hooks and the great pricing and quality. I have been using their needles for months now and my experience with these needles is A++++! This is a chance of a lifetime to have every size needle or crochet hooks you need at your fingertips.

eKnittingNeedles.com not only sells knitting needles but also beautiful bamboo crochet hooks in a large variety of sizes. Bamboo is my needle of choice, because the yarns do not slip and they become better and better with age when it builds up that wonderful patina that comes from use. Handling something as natural as bamboo just feels good in your fingers. Just think of all the gorgeous knitted or crocheted felts you can make with these wonderful knitting needles.

I love using LEGOs and other blocks in educational ways, because it’s a way to build on something that most kids already love and sneak in a bit of learning about another topic. Building is a great STEM lesson because it teaches creative thinking and problem solving, and it’s also just fun.

123 Homeschool 4 Me brings blocks to your social studies or history lessons with a set of LEGO challenge cards involving landmarks of the world. The cards don’t call for any particular blocks, they just show a picture of the landmark and kids can use what they have to try to re-create the design.

The cards included in the set are:

Taj Mahal, India
Windmills, Holland
Brandenburg Gate, Germany
Eiffel Tower, France
Notre Dame, France
Arc de Triumphe, France
Sagrada Familia, Spain
Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy
Colosseum, Italy
Stonehenge, United Kingdom
Big Ben, Great Britain
Blue Domed Church, Greece
Acropolis, Greece
St Basil’s Cathedral, Russia
Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
The Blue Mosque, Istanbul
Statue of Liberty, United States of America
Golden Gate Bridge, USA
Capital Hill, USA
Mount Rushmore, United States
Great Wall of China, China
Sydney Opera House, Australia
Machu Picchu, Peru
Chichen Itza, Mexico

You can use these challenge cards in lots of different ways. Of course you can just tuck them in the block are and see if kids want to play with them. You can also add them to a unit where you are learning about that country or a particular time period where the landmark makes sense to include. Have kids do a little research on the landmark, build their own version and present their findings.

I would love to try some of these challenges, and I’ll bet your kids will, too. You can grab the free printable landmarks LEGO challenge cards from 123 Homeschool 4 Me. I’d love to hear how you use them!
