Exploring Other LandsWhat is it that compelled travelers of old to embark on voyages of discovery into the unknown? Well, the other night I got into bed with a cup of tea and one of our picture atlases to do some exploring of my own, and got a small taste of the excitement that comes along with learning about other people and cultures in far away and not so far away lands! It is fascinating!  Ever since, my children have been fascinated with anything to do with China, to the extent that they read labels on anything they can and go, "Mom, guess what? Made in China." Their enthusiasm is catchy, and we have since embarked on many journeys to other lands through books and studies of places and cultures. Recently we discovered a few more really hands on ways to learn about other parts of the world in practical and fun ways. We have learnt lots of fun facts about other places around the globe through
postcards
and
Flat Travelers.
