I have a few questions that I wanted to ask as far as these books.
1) Is the summer (starting ASAP) long enough to get through Little Hands? Or if not, how long do you think it would take to get through the book? My 5yo ds is eager to learn. I am hoping to begin something more structured soon. Right now we are using a few workbooks. He likes them, but I think he is a bit bored. The reason I have put off is due to my question below.
2) This is my most important question. My son has multiple food allergies. Most of them are anaphylactic. The problem I am finding is that a good number of curriculum like to base their lessons on experience. I have two books that I have used with other children of mine, but they involve lessons that will be difficult for me to alter. It makes me very sad and frustrated!!

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if any of the lessons in Little Hands or Little Heart involve food. If so, can you explain further how it is done? For example, If a lesson talks about a cow, then they make butter, it is very difficult for me to think of an alternative activity for making butter. It is so hands on, KWIM? But if say a lesson is on yellow and we make eggs, I can simply think of another yellow food perhaps. Or if there is a recipe for cookies, I can just use my own (unless it is like that Easter Egg recipe that you make from eggs and nuts. Another example is a lesson on nutrition....he cannot have anything from dairy, no eggs, no wheat/gluten (although grains can be subbed), and no nuts. He cannot have beef either, but that is not as big of a deal since there are other meats. I really don't want to have to think through how to effectively present a lesson while skipping about half of it.
Thanks for any help that you can give me. I am an experienced mom and homeschooler, but he is my only child who has allergies like these!!
