Most of the Hands-On books feature integrated curriculum at top of each activity. Yvonne Merrill has been designing museum exhibits, art curriculum and traveling art and social studies kits since 1963. The term was “interactive and inter-curricular” 46 years ago. Kits Publishing has produced 11 books with this integrated curriculum emphasis.
Here is a breakdown of study areas from the newest book Hands-On America, Vol. III: Art Activities About Lewis and Clark, Pioneers, and Plains Indians.
