It\u2019s an election year- in case you hadn\u2019t noticed. You can\u2019t turn on the television or drive through your neighborhood without seeing something about it. As a Mother to a 3rd grader, I get endless amounts of questions about what all of the hullaballoo is about. \u201cWhat\u2019s an election?\u201d \u201cWhy do we have elections?\u201d \u201cCan I vote?\u201d These kinds of questions are great if you\u2019re a homeschooling parent, because they open up a lot of teaching opportunities. But, sometimes it\u2019s difficult trying to figure out where to start. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s where the BookShark US Elections Lap Book<\/a> comes in!<\/p>\n

\"US<\/figure>\n

This all in one kit comes complete with 21 different hands-on activities that help teach your children about the election process. It\u2019s recommended for ages 8+ and it has been perfect for my 3rd grader. There are some things we don\u2019t delve as deep into, to keep up with his understanding level, but it has been an excellent tool to help me teach him all about elections. <\/p>\n

The kit includes instructions and most all of the items needed for the 21 projects, which cover everything from the Electoral College, political parties, the branches of government, suffrage, and more! I love that pretty much everything you need is included- even tape and glue! All we\u2019ve had to use other than what comes in the kit is a pencil and a stapler.<\/p>\n
