Wonderful!

We homeschool our kids and got this as a conversation starter and extra history lesson once a month. The kids have enjoyed retelling the story to the grandparents! We can’t wait for the next one!

Love HBM for the chance to see replicas of some fascinating historical relics and get the background stories on them. May I add, their customer service is wonderful too! Had gotten a duplicate when my gift giver reordered another six months for me, and they were timely and friendly in rectifying the situation. Love my HBM!👏🏻⭐️
