Synopsis

Ages 7 to 14 years. This step-by-step activity book shows children how to recreate some of the crafts and special events of the medieval period using easily accessible materials.

Activities include: making food that peasants or lords may have eaten, such as pottage, honeyed carrots, medieval gingerbread, and spiced cider; hosting a medieval feast and making your own invitations, decorations, and medieval menu; making your own coat of arms; weaving just as all medieval clothing was woven; making your own illuminated name card, mosaic, or stained-glass window, just like a medieval church; building miniature medieval weaponry; hosting a travelling puppet-show just like medieval entertainers.
