Christopher Columbus' Ships


Children love to hear about Christopher Columbus' ships. Read about them here and then construct your own ships in the classroom. Use an empty milk carton as the base of the ship, and decorate the outside with paint. Add a flag with the ship's name.

Christopher Columbus Timeline

Have students pick out three events from the Christopher Columbus timeline and make their own timeline. Older children may pick more than three, and younger children could pick one or two.

The child can draw a picture or pictures related to the timeline. Have each child explain their timeline and the significance of the images they drew to the other students.
