I’m really excited to share this review and product with you all. I discovered Home School in the Woods at the very start of our homeschooling journey, about 6 years ago – when my oldest child was in kindergarten. I had the privilege of meeting Amy Pak at our local homeschool convention and she is just as kind as she is talented (yes, she is the artist behind all of these beautiful drawings; she does amazing work). At that time, my son was a bit young to use Home School in the Woods products, but I took a mental note that I wanted to use the Pak family’s products in our homeschool as soon as my kids were old enough. Well, now they are old enough – Yippee! Home School in the Woods offers products that brings hands-on to history; some of their products include timelines, maps, lapbooks, and activity studies. We were blessed with the opportunity to review the Great Empires activity study.
