Box 3 - Feather Quill Pen & Ink

Did you know that the signers of the Declaration of Independence used a feather quill pen to sign the infamous document that helped shape our country? The Millers get to experience firsthand the power of using the gifts you've been given to serve others and the impact of the written word.
 
Your child will join Daisy, Allie and Finn as they learn to craft their own feather quill and ink made from a blend of charcoal and gum arabic straight from the gum acacia tree in Africa.
