Have you ever wondered what it was like to write before pens and pencils were invented? Families long ago used feathers, called quills, and ink to share their stories, write letters, and record important events. Writing with a quill wasn’t as easy as picking up a pen today—it took careful dipping into ink and a steady hand to avoid smudges!
This fun activity lets your family experience a bit of history together. Download our "Writing with Feathers and Ink" worksheet to try writing like people did centuries ago!
