There were two major takeaways from last Saturday for me. First, woodworking is a strong and growing craft. And...

This page is part of my history series where I share supplementary activities for Story of the World history chapters.  If you aren't using Story of the World, you can still use this page:  Just skip over the "While Reading Story of the World" section, and browse my suggestions of books and activities for learning about the Phoenicians.  SUPPLEMENTARY BOOKSI almost always supplement our story of the world reading with pictures from other books.   Here's the books I used for this chapter.   Your library may have other books that would work just as well.
