Even though we're studying American History right now, we found a new toy at Barnes & Noble's big moving sale, and I wanted to share.
"Marguerite Makes a Book" is one of our favorite books. The illustrations are beautiful and the book gives a peek into the life of a fictitious bookmaker in Paris in the early 1400's. 
While at Barnes & Noble enjoying our Christmas gift cards, we found this illuminated lettering kit on sale and fell in love with it. We can hardly wait to try it out! So while we're studying America in the late 1700's we'll jump in our time machine and enjoy playing with lettering in the 1400's.

HINT: Tie in the technique of the lettering into the ideas of the block carving used in the early printing presses....
