I’m sharing six mountain men unit study resources. Also, look at my page BEST Westward Ho Unit Study and Lapbook for more resources.

Whether you’re studying about the American Frontier, fur trade or living off the grid, you’ll bring history alive through studying the tough life of mountain men.

Today, I rounded up six unit study resources to grab for a unit study. Besides explorers and fur traders, they were some of America’s first trail blazers.

6 Unit Study Resources: Mountain Men - Explorers of the West

These rugged adventurers lived in the wilderness, exploring forests, rivers, and snowy mountain ranges. Their lives were full of adventure, danger, and discovery.

They were explorers and fur trappers who lived in the western parts of North America during the early 1800s. They traveled through places like the Rocky Mountains, where few settlers had gone before.

BOOKS ABOUT MOUNTAIN MEN FOR KIDS

Next, look at some fun books to read about their life.

5 Mountain Men Books

Whether you’re learning about mountain men for the day or want to create a unit study, add a book or two to your home library.

TRAILBLAZERS

This guide Trappers, Traders, and Trailblazers: Mountain Men in the Rocky Mountain West is a great start to dive into learning about mountain men.

Next, this super helpful free teacher’s guide about the beaver is chock full of information.

It has a unit on fur trade, mountain men lifestyle, and legends of the mountain men. Look below at the expansive unit for a unit on fur trade and lifestyle.

And even though it mentions items in a trunk, it’s really helpful in understanding artifacts and every day items used by mountain men.

Read about the items they used and a few them look like they could be easily made.

This next fun guide talks about the importance of being able to identify animal tracks along with the animal tracks labeled. Click here for Tracking” Down the Secret Code / North American Animal “Who am I”

It has a handwritten letter which is a primary source and a lesson about beavers.

Hands-on History and Geography

More units like the Language of a Trapper, Rendezvous, Mountain Man Tales, and Indian Wives of the Mountain Men are a few of the fun and interesting units in this expansive unit.

6 Unit Study Resources: Mountain Men - Explorers of the West

This is an interesting read for your middle or high school kid. While it doesn’t have pictures, it’s the diary of Jedediah Strong Smith, a mountain men. It describes the perils he faced each day.

Lastly, this link Mountain Man Artifact Kit has a lot of background information about the fur trade and the ways of the mountain men.

Download them and add to them a unit study about geography or use them for a mini unit study.

Whether they were the world’s bravest explorers or the world barely noticed their bravery, this ultimate guide to great explorers, both great and small, will give you a starting point for in-depth learning about some of these fascinating explorers and their journeys. Also, look at my page Hands-On Simple And Best Homeschool Geography Ideas & Tips.

Learning about great explorers and seeing events, places, and everyday life unfold through their eyes allows you and your children to go to places you may have never been.

The Ultimate Guide to Brave Explorers (Great and Small)

If nothing else, it will give you a glimpse of the determination, bravery, and fortitude explorers exhibited.

Hopefully, you’ll come away with both a more adventurous spirit and a deeper respect for other parts of the world.

IDEAS FOR GEOGRAPHY EXPLORATION INSPIRATION

I’ve alphabetized the explorers by their last name to make it easier for you to locate each one. In cases when an explorer’s last name is not given or known, I’ve listed each by his only name or first name known.

Sometimes more than one explorer navigated the same region but presented their journeys from a different view.

I think it’s easier to list them by name so that you get the full benefit of their individual perspectives, instead of breaking down this ultimate to great explorers by the region each explored.

Fun Worm Books For Preschoolers And How To Make A Worms Sensory Bin

I have some fun worm books for preschoolers. Also, look at my page How to Homeschool Preschool for more learning ideas and teaching tips.

Too, we’re making a digging for worms sensory bin. This is a fun activity to do for a spring unit or gardening unit and a fun way to include your youngest learners.

Worms are amazing little helpers in nature! A worm is a long, soft animal with no legs and no bones. Worms are called invertebrates, which means they do not have a backbone

Fun Worm Books For Preschoolers And How To Make A Worms Sensory Bin

Earthworms live in the soil and spend their time digging tunnels underground.

Worms have long bodies that are made of many little rings called segments.These rings help them move and wiggle through the soil.

Also, explain to your preschooler that worms have no legs, no bones or eyes or ears. But still they can sense light and vibrations.

BOOKS ABOUT WORMS FOR LITTLE LEARNERS

Next, look at these fun books about worms for your preschoolers.

Use these books as a fun read aloud or to study the pictures for science.

Worm Books for Young Learners

Add some of these books to your home library for young learners.

Next, look at more preschool book ideas.

Also, look at these garden and nature ideas to include all your kids.

GARDEN AND NATURE IDEAS

Finally, look at how to make this easy digging for worms sensory bin.

DIGGING FOR WORMS SENSORY BIN

First, look at this easy list of supplies.

  • Plain Cheerios (enough to create a layer of “dirt”)
  • Gummy worms
  • Food processor or zip-top bag + rolling pin
  • Toy shovel (plastic sand shovel works great)
Fun Worm Books For Preschoolers And How To Make A Worms Sensory Bin

Make the “dirt”. Place Cheerios in a food processor and pulse until they become a crumbly, sand-like texture.

No food processor? Pour Cheerios into a sealed zip-top bag and let kids crush them with their hands or a rolling pin.

Pour the crushed Cheerios into the sensory bin and spread evenly to create your edible “soil.”

Then, bury the worms. Hide gummy worms throughout the bin. Some can stick out of the top like they are wriggling up to say hello.

Others can be buried deep for serious excavation work.

Layering Cheerios and worms encourages deeper digging.

 Add the shovel. Place the toy shovel inside the bin so it is ready for action.
