Knowledge Box Central has several notebooking, lapbooking, and other products for the homeschool. I had the opportunity to use and review the American Girls Meet Kirsten Lapbook eBook with my youngest daughter who just happens to be be obsessed with anything having to do with American Girls these days. We already owned the American Girl Series Book Meet Kirsten, so we couldn't wait to start this lapbook!

From the KBC Website:

"This series is designed for grades K-12th, with modifications required for some. Lapbook by Cyndi Kinney with creative input provided by Shelby Kinney & Emily Hamann. Accompanying “Meet Kirsten Unit Study” is by Theresa Lilly.

The American Girl Series is a very inspirational and quality product for today's growing American girls. These lapbooks will help to draw out and teach our young girls the rich lessons in life that the author's of the American Girl books have so warmly embedded in their work."

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed using this Lapbook Study about Kirsten, a young girl who immigrates from Sweden with her family to America. We read each chapter, and follow up by using the mini-books that are included in this lapbook kit. The mini-books are creative, educational, as well as colorful. The instructions are easy to follow. There are extensions for learning as well. I found that this lapbook and unit study was very easy to use and well written, and extremely full with plenty of educational opportunities for history and reading comprehension, as well as add-ons for hands-on activities. Assembly instructions are included as well.

I recommend this lapbook for little girls who enjoy learning about other little girls and their families, especially for girls like mine who love the American Girl dolls. We had a lot of fun doing this lapbook together, and we both learned a lot and it didn't even feel like "school"! You will need to either borrow the book Meet Kirsten from your local library, or purchase it before being able to use this lapbook study.

The Meet Kirsten Lapbook is available on the KBC Website in eBook format (immediate download) for $16.49. You can also purchase the CD for $21.49; Printed spiral bound for the do-it-yourselfer for $23.49; or Assembled and ready for the classroom for $28.49. All products include their eBook.
