TOS Homeschool Crew Review~  Home School in the Woods- New Testament Activity Pak

If this doesn’t spark a person’s interest in lap books and history, I don’t know what will.  Home School in the Woods sent our family their New Testament Activity Pak (download version). It consists of a beautifully illustrated lap book project containing 15 activities, a “New Testament News” mock newspaper scroll (lol! Cute idea, where does she come up with these things?), and The Armor of God Activity Poster to print, color and assemble.

The Lap Book activities include:

* The Lineage from David to Jesus
* The Birth of Jesus Christ
* Miracles of Jesus
* The Beatitudes
* Fruit of the Spirit
* The Parables of Jesus
* The Last Supper
* The Crucifixion

* The Resurrection
* The Ascension
* Pentecost
* Prophesies Fulfilled
* The Twelve Disciples
* Paul's Missionary Journeys
* Postcards from Paul

There were opportunities to do a bit of writing, research and Bible study. The Illustrations are simply gorgeous; the project designs are a bit mind boggling. I kept giggling every time we finished an activity because they were all just so clever and I kept sending the girls over to show Daddy the cute little project we’d just finished. There are times when he’s too busy to do more than glance at projects, but these really caught his attention as well as ours.  Tink and Ninja both helped cut out, color and assemble the projects. Everything was well laid out. The only little snag we hit was the Beatitudes “pie book”. Of course, maybe if I’d read the directions correctly in the first place, I wouldn’t have needed DH to come over and figure it out for me. lol. But it is nice to have to ask my hubby for help. He’s so handy.

I’d never been that “into” lap books before but this project has really sparked an interest for me. I realize Home School in the Woods’ lap books are likely the top of the line, but I can now see how lap books would be a very useful learning tool for children. In fact, MFW uses Home School in the Woods' Creation to Christ time line figures in their High School curriculum. Very cool.

Home School in the Woods has done an excellent job with this Activity Pak and I’m going to keep them in mind for future hands-on enrichment in my homeschool.
