Quick Summary
If you want a hands-on way to explore Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, this collection of simple crafts and state facts is a great pick. Each state gets a short, clear fact page followed by a craft that uses stuff you probably already have at home, like paper, scissors, and glue.
