Why I Created Little Lion History
I started homeschooling to make history more meaningful for my kids but it quickly became something bigger. Like many parents, I saw the importance of helping our kids understand the past, and I wanted a way to do it that was engaging, age-appropriate, and fun.
The Heart Behind the Mission
So I created Little Lion History playful, story-based tools that spark curiosity and teach the foundational ideas behind America’s beginnings. I believe kids don’t need everything locked in before they start learning. They just need an invitation.
Where Little Lion History Has Been Shared
From homeschool homes to community events, Little Lion History is being shared in spaces that care about passing stories on to the next generation.
