  • I cannot adequately express my excitement over your new Time Travelers History line! It is exactly what I am looking for in terms of hands-on projects, without much of the things I'll never use in a typical unit study....We had planned to cover the Ancients next year, but now I may want to reconsider!Thank for you offering such consistently exceptional materials! You products fill a much-needed void. - Sabrina Pearce

  • I grew up in Pennsylvania. When I was around 8 years old, my parents bought a used VW pop-up camper. It was orange.

Among them were visits to Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg... -Nancy Casari Dayton, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, LLC, June 2007
