Harry Potter Transfiguration Class with Coloring Changing Mugs

ByErin

No Harry Potter class would be complete without transfiguration, right?   Let’s not kid ourselves though. It’s hard for muggles to really learn transfiguration.

ByErin

It’s not hard to make history come alive by adding in activities, crafts, projects, and of course, history games! History is much better when it feels like play and not work. So I had to make a version of the Mesopotamian game that we call The Royal Game of Ur. What better way to connect…
