- Home School In The Woods is one of my favorite homeschool companies. I freely admit this up front! So when the chance to review the Hands on History Lap-Pak 20th Century In America came up I begged for it! After I received the download, the first thing I did was print everything out. When we do lapbooks, I like to get all of the printing out of the way up front... Mary at Winecup Christian Homeschool blog (Schoolhouse Review Crew)
- My children have never before attempted any lapbook projects, and to be honest, I just didn't know that much about them. But we've developed more of an interest in finding projects that my kids of varying ages can work on together this year, and this looked like something that fit the bill. My 8-year old daughter, Haylee, and my 13-year old son, Hayden, worked on this project together with me. They were really excited to give this project a try! Part of what peaked their interest was the variety of topics included. Obviously, their interests at their varying ages and genders are quite different, but both of them saw topics on the list that appealed to them, so they were looking forward to working on this as a group project... - Kelly Burgess at KGB That's Me! blog (Schoolhouse Review Crew)

It was one of those projects that I figured would have been great when I had little ones, but I didn't think it would be worth trying to invent one again. Lapbooks look great, but I thought it was a lot of work to put together. Recently, through the Schoolhouse Review Crew, we had the opportunity to try out Lap Books from Home School In the Woods, and when my daughter and I looked through the choices, we were more than willing to try it out. These Lap Books looked exciting and colorful - and the templates and layout have been planned for me... - Kym T at Homeschool Coffee Break blog (Schoolhouse Review Crew)
