Dee--look at a dollar store maybe they have bags of Indians. If nothing else, I would spraypaint the army men.

I remeber this horrible project in 4th grade---everyone had to make a different part of a pilgram and Indian village. I had to make a log home, and lincoln logs didn't count. I had to gather the sticks, someone had to cut them to all the same size, assemble the house, cut windows out of the wood, sew curtains, build a fence, glue grass in the yard. I know I had some serious parental "help" --why do teachers do that kind of stuff. It is hell for everyone involved.

---and regarding my sons homework and the "sequenced sibling" I read that and had to ask him what it meant!!! His comment was "it is an older brother or sister, but since I am the oldest then it is you or dad" It isn't really nice to the kids who are only children or the oldest either.
There are plently of nights I just stare at his "agenda" and wonder who came up with these assignments.
