Hi, this is Dan, Dartmoor Dreamer's son. I am a successful graduate of home school, and a board-certified fan of My Little Pony. In addition, I have aspirations of child education.

I have some ideas, but first, what are you looking for when you say "unit study"? To be sure, MLP can be the subject of paragraphs or essays, including book report-style reviews of favorite episodes, and each of the main characters embodies a strong character trait that can be expanded upon. However, if you are looking for things like how to theme math problems or what elements of science are present in the show (that is, a full curriculum), that will require a good knowledge of the show to appropriately lay out.

If you are leaning towards the latter, the full curriculum, our idea is to take a more generic curriculum, one which you might already have or have access to, and add elements of harmo...I mean, of the show. Alternatively, you could divide the school year into sections and devote each section to a character in the show.

Of course, art and costumes lend themselves naturally to a subject like this (as my own costumes will attest).

Let me know if you'd like more information about the show specifically for any subject. I'd be willing to work up a grade-specific curriculum with you, whether for a specific subject or for a full curriculum.
