Hands-on History Reviews

This article is in collaboration with Home School in the Woods.

Sometimes the hardest part of teaching is making sure the information sticks with our children. Home School in the Woods has created great hands-on history activities to help keep them engaged. Hands-on activities are not only fun for your kids but they also allow the material to stick with them for a much longer period of time.

The Homeschool Review Crew has had the chance to review a few of the many offerings from Home School in the Woods.
