This year we’ve been using the Universal Yums box as the “spine” for our social studies/geography studies. It’s been really fun. This month’s box is from The Netherlands. Here’s some resources to add to the box to learn a bit more about The Netherlands.

I’ve put together some resources we’ll use to learn more about The Netherlands through the month while we much away on our snacks from our Universal Yums box. 🙂
We try to cover a variety of topics through the month, including history, geography, anything special about the country we’re studying, important people of the country, artists and of course food. 🙂 I’ve found the Universal Yums box is a fantastic way to guide our learning and give us a monthly “focus”. 🙂
