I’ve been meaning to post these for a while now,
We finished up our Unit on Australia before the start of Summer,
and I’m just now getting around to sharing them.

Learning about Australia was great fun!

We used HOAC Continent Study on Australia

As well as Discovering God’s Animals (from COAH)

And of course we did lots of crafts too:

We made Cave Drawings:

We made boomerangs (That work!)

We made music with a “Didgeridoo”:

We even painted our faces:

We had a GREAT time learning about the Land Down Under!
I added these all to our Australia Themed Crafts on the main site!
