Inventors and Inventions: Free Printables and Unit Studies

Have you ever thought about doing a unit study on famous inventors? Inventions are fascinating and inventors are so much fun to learn about. It is a great conversation when you talk to your kids about the inventions that were created and what our world would be without these things. Makes for a great history lesson and a lesson on appreciating what we have!
