Marmee Dear creates homespun fun while learning together with her "Sugar & Spice" unit studies. The 5 Units in the series~ Unit 1 ~ Ginger, Unit 2 ~ Cinnamon, Unit 3~ Cloves, Unit 4 Nutmeg, and Unit 5~ Sugar. These units cover the history of the spice, what they are used for, recipes, word finds, math, geography,reading lists, the list goes on-did you know the botanical name of Ginger is Zingibar Officinale? The BEST part (besides working side by side with our children!?) you get to taste the results of your 'study' with the wonderful hands on baking and cooking projects incorporated into the studies :)

These are adorable little booklets full of FUN learning, it's hard to believe Marmee packed so much learning into these cute little books. Sugar & Spice is a great break from regular lessons during holiday time, or anytime, for that matter! Highly recommended!

My girls and I have done these together, and loved them.....they really lend themselves to any age range, perfect to do as a family! ENJOY!!
