When I was in elementary school, I loved to dress up in “pioneer” clothing and pretend to be Laura Ingalls Wilder. I imagined that I lived in a little log cabin in the big woods, and cooked meals in a pot over an open fire. (Don’t worry, I didn’t really build a fire!)

For kids who love learning about the pioneer days as I did, here’s a video about how to make a log cabin from paper or cardstock. Find the template in my Etsy shop. Have fun!
