Hands On Bible Learning
I was sent a copy of the Homeschool in the Woods New Testament Bible LapPack to review with my children… and I have to say, I am impressed! The graphics, of course, are of the finest quality - I’d expect nothing less of the creators of the Timeline Figures - and not only can you use them for the lapPack, but why not use them on your timeline as well, or in your notebook pages?
but *ahem!* back to my review…
Now, this isn’t your typical lapbook type kit, where you child cuts out a simple empty template and fills in his answer… I can’t even say they have to fill in *any* answers, this is more of a springboard lapbook kit that gives your child something to complete while maybe Mom is reading the corresponding Bible story, and then you are free to discuss and take the study to whatever level is appropriate for your student. I printed off a couple of the simpler books, cut them out and threw them in ziplock baggies to bring to places where I have to keep little hands busy, like doctor’s offices and restaurants… that a few well chosen crayons and we’re good to go till the food comes (or the doctor is finished with Mommy! LOL!). Super handy and no “work” involves, so there is no balking at the idea of “doing school” while out in the wide world.
But there are is also the New Testament News project to work on as well.. full of thought-provoking writing prompts and funy “ad copy” to create… it’ll get even the most pencil-allergic kid inspired. Tabliod-style articles on such topics as Jesus tipping tables at the temple to Lost Ads for a “missing sheep” - it tickled my kids funny bones more than once!
(Hey, it even tickled Moms - “Disciples Hit The Road!” hehe… shouldn’t we all?)
The younger kids all liked the Armour of God poster (this is Kenzi’s… doesn’t she look funny?? LOL!) - Ev felt it was “beneath” him to make colouring posters… *sigh* what can I say, he’s a teen boy. But overall, the quality and the DIRECTIONS are fantastic… the graphics are the best in the the business… bar none (sorry LnL and HOAC, I love ya both, but there’s no comparison!).
If you are looking for something to just open up further discussion, or to keep little hands busy during family Bible time… seriously consider the New Testament LapPack from Homeschool in the Woods… and if you are in the market for timeline figures, be sure to check them out there as well.. they are absolutely exceptional!
Blessings!
PS, They also have an Old Testament LapPack as well.. why not get both and start at the very beginning… (uhoh, I hear a song coming on! LOL!)
