Welcome to today’s giveaway, brought to you by Elizabeth of History Unboxed:
“When I started homeschooling my own children ten years ago, I decided that if I managed to instill in them a life-long love of learning, then I would consider the whole experience a success.
Over the years, the lessons that my students have found the most meaningful and memorable are the ones where many of their senses are engaged and where the material is presented in an emotionally relatable way.
History in particular is a subject that educators so often find overwhelming. Although Pinterest and blogs abound with creative ideas, let’s face it: life is busy.
As home educators we don’t always have time to source and assemble hands-on lessons.
At History Unboxed, we want to help you! We see history as an exciting and riveting narrative: you and your child can have fun with it!
The adventure begins when you sign up for a subscription through our website. We have two options: One for ages 5-9 and one for ages 10-15.
The following month your child will receive a welcome box from our brother and sister duo Zane and Ava. The pair magically travel through time in the ancient world, and their adventures will present the time period to your child through the activities in the box.
Each month will feature a different time and place–history with hands on crafts, activities, and art all organized for you so all you have to do is open the box and start learning.
In addition to your monthly box, each month we post lots of ideas, links to videos, and books for you to browse on our Facebook, Twitter, email list, and Pinterest pages. Follow along with us and let us organize great resources, many of them free!
History Unboxed can be used as a stand alone curriculum or in harmony with your existing history resource of choice.
We hope that we can make your time teaching history an enjoyable, stress free, memorable experience for you and your child. Come discover History in a new way: History Unboxed!
Today one lucky Simple Homeschool reader will win the following $275 package:
A year’s subscription to History Unboxed! The month following this giveaway the lucky winner will receive a welcome kit with introductory materials and crafts.
After that History Unboxed will send one box a month that will enable their student to experience 11 different locations in the ancient world in a hands-on, fun, and memorable way.

My guys are 11 and 8. The both love history and have really enjoyed the game, Timeline Historical Events. While they seem to enjoy whatever we are discussing we always seem to come back to castles and knights.
My girls are 10, 10 and 9. We are delving into American History this year and loving the people of the American Revolution.

My girls are 4 1/2 and 7 1/2, I have yet to discover a time in history that the 7 1/2 year old isn’t interested in.
My boys are 5 and 10. My 10yo loves any period wrought with war! Ha! I’m looking forward to studying ancient history with them in the fall, though.
My kids are 9, 7, and 4. So far we’ve studied early American history the most thoroughly and loved it. I’d love to get into to more ancient history with them.
12 and 14. They both love late 19th century to early 20th century history.
This looks so neat. I have a 11, 9, 2, and 3 month old. The boys love US History- especially the civil war.

I have 10, 7 & 7 year olds, and we love the 1800’s, particularly Little House time period.
Our girls are 4 and 7 and are passionate about Ancient Egypt!
My kiddo is almost 6 and loves ancient Egypt!
My kids are 6-going-on-7 and 8-going-on-9–but I think we would need the box for 10-15-year-olds! My eldest, following in the footsteps of his history professor father, has been a history fiend for so long that he already knew about the Holocaust from his own reading by the time he was 6. So it doesn’t much matter what historical period *I* like to study with my children (I was a medievalist . . . ); the eldest son is all about WWII, with the Civil War and the American Revolution tossed in for variety.
My daughter is 8 years old. History is by far her favorite subject. She really enjoys learning about the English Kings and Queens. She also enjoys Revolutionary War American history.
my boys are 7 5 3 and we are reading american history books this year and they are loving that
My kids are 5 and 1.5. My oldest is just starting to read and listen to reading about history. She truly loves all of it and I would love to try this set out for her!
Our boys are almost 9 and 12! We have enjoyed studying Ancient Rome together!
My kids are 14, 13, 11, 9, 8, 6, 5, 3, 2 and 6 months. With ten children, I don’t get to splurge on much. Thanks for the chance to win!
Right now, we’re studying the Middle Ages. My kids enjoy all time periods!
my kids are 7 and 5. So far we most love ancient egypt!

ravyn’s latest post: recovery. for all of us.
I have a 7, 8, and 12 year old. We will be diving into the Ancients after our summer break. We LOVE to study this time period. I am excited as this will be our second time to study and my two youngest will be old enough to understand a lot more of the material than 4 years ago.
My daughter will turn 7 this summer and she loves learning about American History.
Our kids are 10, 7.5, almost 5, 3, and newborn. We love reading history stories aloud together, as well as fieldtrips. It is hard to pick a favorite time period…american history works well for some excellent fiction and local living history and the kids are drawn there, but there is something spectacular about reading aloud from the Iliad. I have a big soft spot for ancient Greece.
Mine are 9, 7, and 3. We are excited to start studying the history of the United States in the fall.
Three girls, ages 6, 4, and 21 months. I’ve never heard of this company, but it sounds very promising! Thanks for the introduction.
My kids are 7 and 11. We really enjoy studying American History, especially the Revolutionary War and the Civil War.
My three are soon having birthdays and will be 5,5, and 7. I love all kind of history and sharing it with them. In particular our local South Dakota history and Ancient Greece and Norse history.
My kids are 9 and 11 and history is by far our favorite subject! We especially enjoyed our Viking study this year. I have like both sites on Facebook as well.
I have 8,7,4,2, and 10 mo.
We haven’t studied much history together, though we’d really like to start. This looks like a great way to get us motivated and inspired.
My kids are 5, 7, and 10. Our fave time period right now is early American history. Thank u for the cool giveaway 🙂
11… Ancient Egypt or Greece
Sounds like the history I want to learn! I am excited to try the box!
Liked both sites.
We have a 4 year old and love all things ancient.
My kids are 7 and 9. We are studying Vikings, but Ancient Greece is my daughter’s favorite time period.
I “Liked” both sites.
Well, we have 13 children, ages 2 to 22, but my “middle kids” – ages 9, 11, 13, 14 – are working their way through America The Beautiful by Notgrass. This has been our favorite history program ever! We are just finishing up the Civil War period, one of my personal favorites. Brady was a great read-aloud!

Plus, I Liked both “Unboxed History” and “Simple Homeschool” on Facebook.

I have a 10 year old son and history is his favorite subject! He loves all of the stories but castles and knights seem to be the hit
of the moment. Lots of pretend play still at this age.
Like History Unboxed on Facebook
My kids will be 2, 5, 9 and 11 by the end of this month… Our best time with history was reading about the American Revolution. But now the kids are crazy for Greek Mythology (thank you Rick Riordan), so here we come Ancient Greece!
3,7,9,11….. Right now us history is our focus….
My kids are 7,5 and 1 – we love to study Ancient Egypt!
My 14, 11, and 9 year-olds love anything and everything Egypt! The 3yo and 8mo like anything that involves mess!
This looks awesome. I have a 13 yo that loves history.
My kids are ages 10, 8, 6, 5, 3, and 7 months. We LOVE history, especially my history degree-holding husband 🙂 Our current favorite is American history, but we’re hoping to dive into Egypt soon. We’d have a blast with these boxes 🙂
I liked History Unboxed! (still do) 🙂
My kids are 11, 9, 7, and 5 and we love studying the Middle Ages.

My son is 14 and we love to study the American Civil War.
This sounds so fun! My kids are 11, 9, 7, 4, and 2. They probably have liked medieval history best so far, but I really enjoy American history. I am learning more now as a homeschool mom than I did in school! 🙂
My children are 16, 15, 13, 10, 10, 8, 7, 5, 3, 1. They love listening to all periods of history through audio books. With so many it has been more of a challenge to follow through with the hands on activities that go along with most history lessons. This would be a wonderful reinforcement.
My daughter is 12 years old. It is difficult to say which period we enjoy the most. We really love history and whatever period we are learning seems to be our favorite. We are happy trying to live in the period and bring history alive.
Thank you for such a lovely opportunity.
This sounds wonderful! My child is 14 and our favorite is ancient Egypt.
Thank you!
My kids are 10, 8, 7, and 6. We love any and all history but are really interested in the world wars and U.S. History.
My children are 8, 6, 4, 2, and newborn. Their favorite history period is whatever period we’re currently studying, although they seem to slightly favor ancient Egypt.
My kids are 9, 7, 3 and 1. We love American History but we have been studying ancient cultures this year, so they now are fascinated with Egypt and the Hebrews!
Have liked Simple Homeschool and History Unboxed on FB.
My crew 4,8,11 have loved the Story of the World books. I think year two was their favorite. Mine has been year three and four.
My kids are still pretty young, 1.5 and 4.5. The oldest will be starting kindergarten soon and loves space, dinosaurs and ancient Egypt 🙂
My kids are 10,8,5 and 3. We like to study about Egypt. American History is also intriguing for all of us.
My kids at home are 9, 8, 7, 5, & 2. We have enjoyed learning about the rise and fall of ancient empires and comparing Biblical history to our history studies.
Our children are 7, 9, 13, 16, 17
Our favorite historical periods are Ancient Greece, the golden age of Egypt, and the Medieval times in Europe.
My children are 5,4 and 7 months. My eldest loves learning about our early presidents, especially Washington and Lincoln. My younger two could give really a fig about history right now.

My children ages 8,8,7,5, and 2 would really get a lot of use out of this. Thanks for the offer!

Great giveaway! My daughter is 7 and we are exploring American history. History Unboxed would be a great inspiration to our future studies!
My kids are 6 & 7 (nearly 8) and they love to hear ‘true stories’ (i.e. history). Right now we’re doing our town’s history, and having a great time–just made dioramas of it yesterday, in fact. We live in Ft. Langley, BC (I’d ship to my box in Washington), and it’s the first town created in BC. They have a great living museum here that we did last week!

My kids are 5, 3, and 1, so we’re only just getting started with the whole homeschooling thing. So far, we’re still in Ancient Egypt, and they love it! We’ve also done a little with the Pilgrims/Colonists/Revolutionary War time period.
We could really use this. Part of my excitement about homeschooling is to learn history myself….somehow missed it when I was young 🙂
We have 13 children. The 10 who are currently home schooled range from pre-K to Senior. Their father is currently running for State Senate, so we are particularly interested in the founding of our country and the way our government was set up after the American Revolution.
Thanks!

Liked both pages on FB 🙂
My son is 6 and we’re just finishing up 1st grade. We haven’t done much with history yet and I must say that it’s intimidating to try to figure out how to do so – but this looks fabulous- I’ll have to look into it more!
We enjoyed learning about the Civil Rights movement together.
My kids are 11,9,7,5, and 3. Our favorite time period to study is the one we just finished – modern history especially WWII. Back to ancient history next year!!

My son has only briefly touched on history this year but really enjoyed learning about the history of our home city.
Already liked Simple Homeschool Facebook page, but liked History Unboxed.
My kids are 6, 10, and 12…and so far our history loves don’t intersect too much. I haven’t been able to get my youngest and oldest interested in History. My middle child loves Texas history, something I’m not quite as interested in. I love Ancient, medieval, and Asian history.

My kids are 3, almost 6 and almost 9 and they are really enjoying Ancient Egypt right now.
My son is almost 10. This year was our first year to homeschool and was amazing. We both loved learning about the native indians and tracing our family tree back to find our family line. Along with the weeks we spent researching and learning about or state (sweet home alabama). But it was all made even better to me watching my almost 3 yr old learning with us it was trully a blessing.
Also we liked both site.
My son is almost 7, and he really enjoys hearing about the formation of the U.S. since it takes place in areas that he is familiar with. He’s also fascinated by how people lived without electricity, so we try to specifically talk about that no matter what period we are looking into at the moment.
My kids are 5, 4, 2, and 6 months. So far we’ve mostly just covered bits of history through holidays and events, although we’re looking into starting a bit more formal with a timeline this coming school year. This sounds fun and easy!
My kids are 10, 9, 6 and 3. They love any history, particularly American presidents.
