Homeschool in the Woods

May. 8, 2009 • 6:55 AM

As part of the TOS Homeschool Crew, I received the New Testament Activity-Pak from Homeschool in the Woods. I was thrilled about this because my children were already making their Old Testament Lapbooks with the activity-pak we previously purchased from Homeschool in the Woods.

The creator of Homeschool in the Woods products is Amy Pak, a homeschooling mom of four. She has great artistic and creative talent. These educational unit studies and lapbook kits not only become works of art but also excellent learning and teaching tools.

My family loves making lapbooks, myself included. I wish there would have been such a thing when I was in school. I would have made a lapbook for everything I studied (if allowed!)

Here is a wonderful quote from their website: "It is our heartfelt prayer that children develop a love of learning that will not end when they are finished with "school." We at Home School in the Woods have a passion for supporting the education of our children, specifically in understanding God's providence through history."

My older children were already working on the Old Testament Lapbook from Homeschool in the Woods when I heard we’d be getting the New Testament Activity Pack from Homeschool in the Woods! We are making these with another homeschooling family from our church, adding some Bible Study lessons as we go.

All of the activitiy paks that Amy Pak has created are so full of great detail. She really worked hard on the pieces included in each activitiy pak. The composition of the lapbook is also very creative with flaps, pockets and many great interactive pieces throughout. Here are some of the completed pieces from our OLD Testament activity pack that are ready to go into the lapbook!:

Like I said, I was fortunate to receive The New Testament Activity-Pak. This pack is designed for grades 3-8 to use independently but I think it appeals to all ages. ( I know I love it myself but I won’t reveal my age!  )

Now that we have completed our Old Testament lapbook from Homeschool in The Woods' Old Testament Activity-Pak, we are anxious to begin with the New Testament one.

The New Testament Activity-Pak contains 15 mini-book projects to create and then put together into a finished lapbook. Once completed, the lapbook is so appealing, everyone will enjoy looking at it over and over again. It takes you through the history of the New Testament beginning with the Birth of Christ and ending with Paul’s Missionary journeys.

The following activities are included in the lapbook:

• Books of the New Testament,
• Prophecies fulfilled by Jesus
• Jesus' lineage
• The birth of Jesus
• The Beatitudes
• First 12 Disciples
• Parables of Jesus
• Miracles of Jesus
• The Last Supper
• Crucifixion, resurrection, ascension and Pentecost
• Christ's resurrection
• Fruit of the Spirit
• Paul's missionary journeys
• Paul's letters

In addition to the lapbook, The New Testament Activity-Pak contains directions to create “The New Testament News” and an “Armor of God” poster.

She includes clear directions on how to assemble the pieces with photos of the completed pieces which are very helpful.

This is an activity Pack created as a “go-along” project with your study of the Bible’s New Testament! The New Testament Activity-Pak New Testament Activity-Pak sells for $18.95 as a download product or $19.95 plus shipping on CD.

Homeschool in the Woods has many other great products as well. We have many of them and have loved each one we have used so far! We have done the Homeschool in the Woods Colonial study that is part of their Time Travelers series. We also plan to do the American Revolution one next school year. I am also really thinking about purchasing the Artists Activity-pak  once we've completed those we already own. (The Civil War study looks great though too!) I can easily give Homeschool in the Woods 2 thumbs up!
