Leif took a cargo of grapes, cut vines and timber home from Vinland. Many people saw the wealth of the land and wanted to set off to live there.

What tools and equipment do you think they would've taken from Greenland to harvest the wealth of Vinland?


Vines In The Lines

Design a grape and vine border frieze to decorate Vinland's first newspaper.

Send us the finished pattern and we may well feature it in the Gallery.


First Footing

Draw a picture of that historic moment when Leif set the first Viking foot on Canadian soil.

Alas, I don't think the Vikings took official painters on their long ships to catalogue important moments of history.

Your picture may well be featured on the front cover of Vinland's first newspaper in the Gallery.
