It’s no secret that kids learn best when they’re interested in the topic and there’s no better way to ensure they’re learning than to use a hands-on approach. The problem is that hands-on learning takes so much more prep work for moms. While I can whip up a fun unit study on science, when it comes to hands-on history, I’m not that great. By the time I’ve gathered educational projects for the kiddos, they’ve already moved on to their next “interest.”

Wouldn’t it be amazing if someone else took all of the guesswork out of homeschooling history for you? It would save hours of time and frustration. It would be nice if we could just sit back and enjoy the activities without having to stress over whether we’ve included enough educational information.

Lucky for us, Home School in the Woods offers some fun hands-on history projects that allow us moms to relax for a bit!

Quick, Easy & Affordable

One of the things I hate most about unit studies is that they can begin to add up so quickly but with Home School in the Woods’ A la Carte projects, that’s simply not the case. Each activity is less than $10 and is jam packed with information. Kids will enjoy the visual aspect of timelines and file folder games while your bank account appreciates the price tag.

Lap books are filled with flaps. Timelines are packed with important dates and easy-to-remember facts. File folder games are full of fun and interesting topics.

But best of all, they’re EASY! There is no need to spend your weekends prepping fun activities and researching facts. It’s all done for you! All you need to do is simply download the project of your choice and print it out. (Worried you’ll use too much ink? Check out The Homeschool Printing Company for super affordable printing!

Home School in the Woods offers larger studies, but these bite-size projects are just perfect for anyone who wants to pick and choose exactly what they’ll be learning right away. Because, when it comes to time and money, those are two things homeschool mamas just can’t get enough of. Save some stress by grabbing an exciting yet thorough hands-on history lesson from a trusted company.
