Warm as Wool Storytelling Project

The Warm as Wool suitcase tells the story of a young pioneer family who moved to Ohio in 1803 and struggled to stay warm that first icy winter. The book “Warm as Wool,” by Scott Russell Sanders, is the basis for this storytelling kit, which teaches history and language arts through the use of a storybook and related artifacts such as raw wool and wool carders.

Ø Also available as a 45 minute presentation with a museum educator!
