Armorial bearings, or coats of arms, take us back to the
glamour of the middle ages. In days of old, knights displayed
heraldic devices on their horses' caparisons, their servants'
liveries, and on their banners and shields. As war medals
are awarded today, so coats' of arms and other heraldic devices
could be awarded to knights for their service in battle. But
the primary role of coats' of arms was identification in battle
– the bright, vibrant colors and symbols identified the knight
to his men, and his flying banner was a rallying point for
them.

Creating Your
Family Tree
Building a family tree can be simple, depending on the kind
of family tree you want to build. An elaborate one will take
a much longer time, for example, if you want to cut out pieces
of colored paper and pasting them with pictures and short
write-ups on the family member. Some people will just draw
a family tree and color portions of it into the family tree.
Kids love it and even adults will enjoy this simple and calming
activity.
