Renaissance Resources

Moving right along, history wise, we will be studying the Renaissance after we finish with Leonardo da Vinci. Actually, we should have started with R&R before Leo but the kids were antsy to use our Leo resources. LOL 

As always, I provide resources for a variety of ages. 
I am not affiliated with any company or web site. I just share as many great links as I can find. ;)

All the books should be easily found on Amazon or your local library. 

All printables are free unless marked under $$$.

Leonardo da Vinci Unit Study Resources

Our first topic this year will be Leonardo da Vinci. We will be using this for science, history and art! LOVE it when one topic covers so many areas. Makes everything so much simpler. ;)

Here is a list of the books that I know we will be using. Afterward I post a larger list of books and ebooks.

The books should be easily found at Amazon or your local library. 














This one has 21 activities!!





This one has a kit to build your own ornithopter.





Those are the books we are planning to use. I will probably add one or two free Kindle books to the list, as well.



















Joshua borrowed this from the library one year and really enjoyed it. He loved the activities!
