I teach them about different cultures with Carole Roman books!
Along with Carole’s books, I also use fairy tales and folk tales – comparing the versions from different cultures.
These would be for my niece and nephew.
In it to WIN it! Thank You!
We go to the museum where they have different cultures displayed and some of their customs and go to different ethnic groups doings in town.
I teach my daughter about different cultures through homeschooling! We read about different cultures and their customs, do art projects and much more! I would love to add these books to our collection!
When my girls were younger I put a world map on the kitchen table and covered it with clear plastic tablecloth. Geography by assimilation.
We teach them through stories. It comes so naturally that way.
Our third grade social studies curriculum focuses on geography, so this series would be an awesome resource for the teachers and students.
We study geography, books that have stories about children in many locales and work on projects.
Reading is one of the best ways to teach children about other cultures, short of travelling. These books are ideal!
Books, visit to the Public Library, dinner conversation are some of the ways we taught our children many things.
Books, trips, movies and just talking by picking places on the globe.
I read them a variety of books that display multiple cultures and sometimes we celebrate holidays with crafts.
Ours learned through books, pictures and their own relatives. Also their school has a Culture Day for the younger grades where they wear something from their country and make a food to bring in from their country.

We do it by books, videos and attending cultural festivals.
Living in Hawaii with its diverse multiethnic population is one of the best ways to expose my child to different cultures!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
My kids love to learn about different cultures from their friends at school, who are of many different ethnicities.
I teach them about the different traditions and foods and compare them to ours.
We read books. But mostly we use youtube and Netflix to learn about other cultures. I particularly like youtube because sometimes you can find kids in that area that talk to kids about their home life. We found one family with a daughter in Japan that did videos about everyday life. Its great. So many great ways to learn out there.
A great way is to read multicultural books
We learn through books and internet articles. We even learn through the places we travel to and the foods we eat.
