We have loads of creative expressing throughout our Civics Resource Kits: Quill Pen writing, parchment paper history and hands-on samples, seals with wax and document security, African instruments and overall musical mixtures with art project incorporating Native, African, and Colonial materials to create something new, recipe for Tallahassee teacakes, and decorating a 19th c fan, plus games and pastimes of the 19th century including embroidery, soap making, house building, and more! All of these activities brought people together. Everything was handmade so you needed a wide network of crafts and craftspeople to achieve or create anything. These relationships, just like ours today, shape our democracy and how we rely on one another for information and basing our decisions on. An informed community that has access to truthful information can share and pass it along well.
