The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

collection of classic (and some new!) ways to divert kids on car trips. As a slight departure from the typical “in a bag” format, all you have to do is print off the activity pages, put them in plastic page protectors, avail yourself of dry erase markers, and go! This E-Book costs $15 and is for elementary ages.

• Math Games in a Bag consists of 33 games for teaching elementary school-aged children math concepts. Most games are designed for 2 or more children. This E-Book costs $15.

•;Crew;members;also;got;to;try;the Bags that started it all: Preschool Activities in a Bag 1 and Preschool Activities in a Bag 2. On the home page, you can fill out a survey and receive a free E-Sampler! Each of these E-Books costs $15, or you can get both for the price of $27.

All of the Activities in a Bag follow the same format. By using simple materials found around the house, you can compile bags (literally, plastic zip lock bags) for your children to work on, largely independently. Since this concept appeals to all homeschool moms, you’ll definitely want to read all of the Crew’s reviews about these innovative products.

God, strengthen His people in their
walk, and call all peoples to find joy
in knowing His gospel and following
Him.” They have books and audio-

for both children and adults. For this
review, our TOS Crew members got
to choose from ten different books for
kids and adults.

• Your Child’s Profession of Faith, by Dennis Gundersen, is a book for parents meant to help them in pointing their children toward Christ.
