Here are the activities for the first chapter of the Story of the World Vol 1 Earliest People. (Based on the Activity Book Vol 1) [Affiliate link]
Map and Activity Sheets
I took a photo of Mavi’s interpretation of the nomads living inside a tent and with a campfire.
Cave Painting
The book also suggests that you try cave painting (pretend) as a means of communication or recording of events.
LEGO Project
As much as possible to we love to incorporate LEGO in our work. So here we made Jericho, the first city… just as the book described it.
After reading the first chapter of The Story of the World Vol 1, Mavi created this. This is how he interprets Jericho, the first city built by the earliest people (nomads) who became farmers in the Fertile Crescent.
“Soon, farmers discovered that it was best to build houses close together so they could help each other to water and tend their fields. These were the first villages.”
“Because they were afraid that they may be attacked and robbed by bandits, they built stone walls around their villages. These were the first cities.”
I will post the rest of the activities we did in line with the SOTW Earliest People.

The Natural Homeschool
Vito is 10 months.
I decided to start sharing what Vito has been doing. He just can’t stop moving, the main reason why I would hesitate to take his pictures. Major milestones as of the moment (1) he starts to walk (2) he can say “mama” and “dy” (3) and can follow certain hand gestures/signs.
Here’s Vito practicing how to remove the disk from the pole. He couldn’t figure it out yet so he would just turn the pole into different directions so the disk will come out. And once they’re out he would line them up on one side.
Here, I’m showing him how to stack the disk. All he could ever do is how to remove the disk from the stack LOL.
Open and Close. He’s practicing how to open the container and closing it. To encourage Vito, I place a horse figure so he can try to take it out from the container.
We’ve been reading books for months, so he knows how to navigate through the pages of the books. This is a good practice for the pincer grasp as well.
He talks a lot when he holds a book and loves to point at the pictures!
Duplo Transfer. An unsuccessful activity LOL. He’s move interested on the bowl rather than the Duplo. We’ll try this again though, using different materials this time.
