Hearth and Home
Study the arrival of the Spaniards in New Mexico. Learn about the lifestyle of the early colonists: what their homes, food and clothing were like and how they used their environment to survive. Choose an activity that reflects their domestic traditions:
Activity Options:
Ramillettes: Cut "little paper bouquets" out of scrap paper. (This easy activity is good for all ages.)
Tinwork (Add $10.00 per group for materials): Make a small frame from light gauge aluminum. (Difficult for young hands.)
