Have you visited the Enchanted Homeschooling Mom? Jill makes all sorts of fun learning packets, and asked me if I was interested in running a review/giveaway of her Christmas Around the U.S.A. curriculum. I thought it was the sort of thing my readers might enjoy, and so I said yes! It fits the creative, fun, hands-on learning theme of Learning Laboratory perfectly!
Jill sent me a copy to review; it’s a very fun introduction to Christmas around the United States. My kids especially enjoy learning about the animals that are highlighted for each state – and they’ll enjoy watching some of the suggested movies, as well.
If you would like to win a copy of this curriculum for your kids, just fill out this simple form – this is an electronic download, so anyone can enter:
This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, Laura O! You’ll get an email from Jill soon!
This giveaway will run through November 15th, when a winner will be chosen via random.org. I’ll update this post with the winner’s information, and Jill will send the winner their prize.
Jill offers a lifetime membership so that you can download all of her curriculum and packets for only $15 – visit her members-only website to learn more!
I’ve decided to simplify my life by removing my weekly linkies, but if you share fun, creative, hands-on learning posts in your comments or on my facebook page, I’ll pin those to my Pinterest boards and pick a few to feature here next Monday. Don’t blog? Feel free to describe an activity in comments or on my page, and they will be eligible for features, too. Same end result, but a different way of going about it – and I’d love to hear your thoughts on the change. Here are three favorites of mine from the posts linked up last week:
- Pumpkin Math and Science from Stay At Home Educator
- Making Gratitude a Daily Practice from The Good Long Road
- Nature Turkeys from Crafty Moms Share
I’m curious: How is Christmas celebrated where you live? Or, if you don’t celebrate Christmas, do you have a different winter holiday tradition to share?
Disclosure: Jill gave me a lifetime membership to her site in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own.

I love her stuff. I need to print off her Christmas Unit to get started on planning for it.

I haven’t visited for awhile and didn’t realize the linkie would be gone. Sometimes, there are so many posts linked, it can be a bit overwhelming. I love the idea of perusing Pinterest for ideas.

Thank you! Good luck with the giveaway :)

Sounds like a fun packet to win. My middle daughter had so many questions about Jerusalem and religions that we are reading a couple of books on world religions. This packet sounds like a way to learn more about Christianity — confusing to her when the Orthodox split from the Roman Catholics and then branched out.

I’ll miss your link up, I like getting ideas from them but I will check out your Pinterest boards. I’m a Pinner myself and was so thankful when they came out with it, so many less papers and ideas strewn about my house now! ;o)
We made some pistachio shell Christmas ornaments you may enjoy! http://madebyjoey.blogspot.ca/2012/11/christmas-re-crafting.html
Happy Holidays!
