My preschool class is so cute. I know you can’t actually see their faces here, but that is intentional. Today in class we taught them all about what a papoose was and then created our own. The term papoose is used when referring to cradle boards and other child carriers, which were used by Native American Indians and went by many names. The kids designed and painted their own blankets, cut out the baby’s head, added hair, and strung the rope themselves to keep the baby from falling. Their favorite part was wearing the baby and papoose on their backs, they got such a kick out of it. They are so adorable.
