Learn about the Eiffel Tower, beloved and iconic symbol of Paris, France, and one of the most recognizable structures in the world!When the plans for the Eiffel Tower were first announced, many people hated the design of the future landmark, calling it ungainly and out of step with the beautiful stone buildings of the city. But once it went up for the World's Fair in 1889, the people of Paris quickly fell in love with the tower.

French Vocabulary Bracelets
You can also turn these into necklaces using the same methods below but create a longer length to add several words for the week.
Once they have learned the words, have fun helping them create a new string of words and phrases.
You will need:
- Pony Beads
- Letter Beads
- Stretchy String
- Scissors
First, you are going to want to research and list some words your child might want to use to make their bracelets online or in a French dictionary.
I have a handful of common words they might like to use above.
Set out a little container of red, white, and blue pony beads as well as letter beads along with the stretchy string.
Next, have them lay out the design of their bracelet, you can use just the colors of the French flag or put them in order-blue, white, and red.
Wrap the stretchy string around the wrist to where it is comfortable and add another 2 inches to the length.
Tie a bead on one end of the string to keep the beads from falling off as they are threaded.
Slip the beads on, remember to place letter beads in the right direction.
Your child can opt to fill the entire bracelet with beads, fill it partially, or sparsely.
Once it’s done, tie off the ends and snip off the excess.
How fun are these little bracelets?
