Today I get to share a fun pioneer covered wagon craft at my friend Kim’s blog!

When I think of Life Over C’s, I think of hands-on learning. I decided we’d share how we made a covered wagon with her readers. Click over to see how I put together the milk carton covered wagon.Raisin and I also stocked the wagon full of things to represent what the pioneers would have packed in their covered wagons. Here’s what is in our wagon.

a pill (to represent medicine)
a box of raisins (to represent food to eat)
a spoon (to represent dishes for cooking and eating)
a small bowl (to represent pans for cleaning and scrubbing)
a piece of cloth and pin (to represent sewing materials for repairing clothing and making new clothing)
a small screwdriver (to represent tools to help repair the wagon)

Watch the following video to see what else Raisin learned as we stocked our wagon and “crossed the plains.”
