In the Hands of a Child - Kit Pack - Sale Announcement
*This is the 4th or 5th small homeschool business I know that is deeply affected by the upcoming passage of CPSIA. Jeff and Kate Estes are discontinuing the sale of their Hands & Hearts History Discovery Kits. I LOVE these kits. This legislation means well but I don't believe the consequences of the bill were clearly thought out. Kate Estes has written more about the act, including steps you can take to get this ammended here.
Please note I've never used In the Hands of a Child's Kit Packs....If you have used these would you care to comment as to the difference between a project pack and a kit pack? If I buy a kit pack, why would I need the matching project pack? I AM looking for lapbooks for the rest of this year. LOL
Without further comment....below is a letter from In the Hands of a Child:

Dear Valued Customers,
Due to the new CPSIA law In the Hands of a Child, for the time being, is discounting our Kit Pack inventory in order to lessen our possible loss in the event that an exemption is not granted.

This sale will continue until our Kit Pack inventory has been exhausted, so purchases will be on a first-come-first-served basis.
Once they are gone, they are gone!

It just makes me so sad to hear of more companies affected by the CPSIA. I have a knot in my stomach when someone mentions a hs company for fear that it means that they are shutting down too. I don't think people realize how far this will reach, and how many ripples that stone is going to create when it gets thrown in the pond on Feb 9th. I'm trying to figure out how to buy some of Kate's kits as we speak... er... well. type. ;)
I agree, Stephanie. I want to buy their kits...I LOVE the Hand and Heart History Kits.....but I have to figure out how much room I have to be hauling things around this summer...this comes at a time when I'm trying to cut back.
I, too, would like to purchase some packs but we just do not have the finances right now. I am trying to juggle some things to see if I can order. Did you ever figure out the kit packs?
A kit pack is just all the graphics and booklets already printed out for you. You still need to buy the actual lapbook wit instructions. Kit packs are sometimes used by groups and co-ops where a whole class will be building the lapbook together. The teacher has the lapbook itself and each kid needs to have a kit pack.
