During the Florida Parent Educators Association Homeschool Conference in May, we went to a session by Jim Weiss on the importance of story. My husband and I both liked what he had to say on the topic and the pointers he gave for telling a good story. We found out he was the reader for one of the versions of the audiobook, The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child. I had been considering this curriculum for our kids and this clenched it for me.
The Secret Cave is a fictional representation based on true events surrounding the discovery of the
Lascaux Cave in France during WWII. The book was the perfect preparation for our activity today - making cave art! We used paper bags and some acrylic paints in the limited hues that prehistoric peoples would have had.

Seeing all that left over paint, I decided to try my hand at a little cave art as well - a newly discovered prehistoric species. Ha!
