Happy New Year! No better way to kick-start 2011 than by holding a giveaway draw :) I love them and even won a couple myself last year. I'm really happy to be able to host a giveaway on my own blog for once :)
In the Hands of a Child are just about to release their 400th Project Pack and to mark this event they are holding a 400th Project Pack Celebration. Woohoo!
This will include a sale with big discounts that will take place early this year, as well as the chance to win a completely FREE 1 year Super Membership (worth $225/£145), a FREE Custom Ordered Project Pack where you decide the topic and the difficulty level (worth $75/£48), and a FREE Lifetime Super Membership (worth $275/£177 ). Sorry if the conversions to sterling are not 100% accurate, I got them from here.
HOAC also have a semi-annual Freebie which anyone can download so you can try before you buy :)
Be sure to keep an eye on their website and sign up for the newsletter to be kept informed of the 400th Project Pack Celebration.
If you're new to HOAC materials, their packs contain all the information and lapbooking pieces needed for the topic in question. That means not much preparation for parents and older children can do them pretty much independently. Of course, you don't have to limit yourself to making a lapbook, we tend to stick the pieces in notebooks too :) There are even online co-ops so you can pool ideas and share experiences with other families who are studying the same topic.
This is a page from our Anglo-Saxon project that we did using the HOAC Anglo-Saxons Project Pack.
ANYWAY, back to this giveaway. In the Hands of a Child are offering a FREE bundle pack to one of my readers :) Actually, not just mine, there are other bloggers taking part in this as well :) A Free bundle pack includes a printed Project Pack, Kit Pack, and Answer Key (when available) which, for US residents, will be posted to the winner . This is a $40 value including the free shipping. For Non-US residents, the bundle pack will be delivered electronically rather than in hard copy.
To enter, all you have to do is :-
Visit the HOAC website then come back here and leave a comment stating which 5 Project Packs you would most like to own :)
Leave your comments before midnight GMT on Tuesday 11th January when I will pick a winner at random :)
Don't forget to tell your friends about this and GOOD LUCK everyone :D
