Both DSs (6 & 8) enjoy history.

They are currently into the Renaissance period, with Leonardo Da Vinci as a favorite focus. Greek and Roman mythology have been at the top of the list almost forever, with ancient Egypt popping up from time to time. When DS8 was 4 or 5, it was definitely Revolutionary War times, but his interest was really over the actual war, the famous figures from that time, and gaining independence from England.

Please keep us posted on your project. Good luck with it!
