My girls are just crazy about "playing prairie". This usually includes donning some sort of bonnet and skirt, and proceeding to forage for nuts and berries...which usually end up being beads, buttons or stones brought inside for just such imaginative play. They are currently going through "A Life of Faith" series with a dear friend of mine and her daughter Sophie, and the stories that they hear are right out of the same time period that their play is usually centered around. This picture is from a recent Thanksgiving gathering of the LOF girls at a local forest preserve. The girls made butter, sampled foods that would have been eaten this time of year "in the olden days", and made a paper cornucopia that Mrs. Kennedy kindly filled with candy. They had an excellent time.
