Danish crafts and activities are colorful and entertaining and the open faced sandwiches are heavenly!

Mimi, my adorable little sis, Danish crafts must be on your mind! Why do you have the flag of Denmark splattered all over your face? Are you going somewhere?

Yes big brother, and so are you, exclaimed Mimi confidently.

Really? And where might we be going?

McAveler, it is so hot where we live right now that I want to go someplace cool! Someplace where we can learn new things and meet some new kids. Maybe even go to the beach. And then to the fabric store.

I want to visit Copenhagen, Denmark. Will you come with me, McAveler? Please, pretty please!

Sure Mimi, I love Scandinavia. But first I want to paint my face just like yours, just so you won't look so funny all by yourself, teased McAveler.

Here we are in Copenhagen, Mimi. I see you washed the paint off of your face.

Yes. But it is still dark here, McAveler!

It will be light in a few minutes, don't worry. We'll get to see everything.

Look, there's the sun peeking above the horizon to the East already!

Oh, how beautiful this land is! Just look at the buildings in the Nyhavn district of . Have you ever seen more beautiful colors?

Yes, the local residents really love their color.

Mimi, check out this great amusement park called Tivoli Gardens. It was opened in 1843 so it is the second oldest amusement park in the world.




















We should learn about Hans Christian Andersen next. He is known all over the world for his .

What else is there to learn about here besides Danish crafts, McAveler?

Are you kidding? A million things! Ever hear about the Viking?

Other Danes were farmers and stayed at home in their snug farm houses during the cold winters. Some of the farm houses were built completely around an enclosed plaza and had several separated areas. The people slept in one area and the animals in other areas.



They used wind power to grind their crops into meal. Today, they use wind power to make electricity.

McAveler, we need to meet some Danish crafts kids before we go home. There's a group of them having fun over there by the water. Let's go say hello!

Oh, wait, how do we say "hello, how are you today" in Danish?

But don't worry, Mimi, many of them will be able to speak English with us.

Hello everyone! We are McAveler and Mimi. How do you do? Hej, hvordan har De det?

Mimi, see the Danish crafts they are making. Let's learn how to make a Danish Heart Basket!

All this sight seeing has made me hungry, Mimi. I wonder what is good to eat in Denmark.

Well, McAveler, I'd say just about everything but just look at those yummy open faced sandwiches! Let's find out how to make them!
