Moana Study: An exploration of the Polynesian islands guided by Disney’s Moana.

If you have not seen the Disney movie Moana, please go now and watch it. It is a beautiful story of a strong, brave girl finding her place in the world, as she sails off on a journey to restore order and save her island from destruction. It is set in the beautiful Polynesian islands about 1000 years ago. When my daughter asked if we could do a Moana study, I never knew that I would be the one super excited to explore a new culture.

We spent about 2 months covering this study doing 2-3 themed activities a week. Most activities were targeted toward my 4 year old but many still included my 18 mo. old. Below are links to parent background resources, different theme days, and other helpful information. I hope that you enjoy them and that they help you come up with your own ideas to enrich your children’s lives.
