In the Hands of a Child

Lesson Designer

Two women met through an online homeschool group. While chatting, they discovered they both loved lapbooks and were looking for an easier way for homeschooling moms to pull together the necessary items for a lapbook. Those chats soon became a business plan, and the two ladies quietly “set-up shop” on the web, becoming the first company to sell ready-to-use lapbook kits. With innovative ideas and creative graphics abilities, the two moms published their first unit, titled “Plants,” in November 2002. Two years later, a talented writer/researcher joined the team and the company came into full bloom. In the Hands of a Child wants to make hands-on learning easy and readily attainable for every child and for every mom! With over 400 lapbook titles to choose from and a growing line of notebooking units, they offer something for everyone regardless of age or ability.
