40+ Fun AND Educational Sticker Books Perfect for the Homeschooling Child
From history to geography, from dinosaurs to space exploration, these educational sticker books are just what parents need to catch their homeschooling child's attention and pique their interest -- in short, lessons made fun!
As a frequently exhausted homeschooling parent, I’ve often found myself wishing there were sticker books for everything in the lesson plan — from prehistoric man to grammar to literature. My son has sticker books on stuff like the Ancient Greeks and medieval towns and I’ve noticed that they’re actually a really fun way to introduce lessons that might otherwise be kinda boring.
The sanitation system of ancient Romans? Ask him, he knows!
(I know now, too, after reading the sticker book…and to be honest, I’d rather forget. Big ewww.)
We got the sticker books from the two times the Big Bad Wolf book sale was held in our city — they carry remaindered books at really pocket-friendly prices — and we were really looking forward to the next time they would be in town. Unfortunately, COVID put a stop to all that and we haven’t been able to replenish our educational book stocks.
The company that organizes the Big Bad Wolf sales, BookXcess, is based in Malaysia, but they actually have an online presence and they deliver. The prices in their website are really great value too. Of course, we’d have to pay for shipping, but it might still work out all right, price-wise.
There’s just one reason I haven’t bought from them yet and that is because I’m not sure what happens to the books when they get here — whether we still have to pay taxes and customs fees and stuff like that, which will make the books too expensive.
There is actually a law that says books for personal use are exempt from duties and taxes subject to this condition:
“An individual importer or recipient of the package can have any number of books, as long as there are no more than 6 copies of any one title.”
Unfortunately, hereabouts, what the law says and what actually goes on under the tables in government offices are often at odds — * cue sigh and eye roll * — so…
Before you ask, yes, I’ve searched for reviews about importing books for personal use from Malaysia — and specifically from BookXcess — to the Philippines but I haven’t found anything relevant yet.
I’m still trying to get more information about the process. Or maybe I might go ahead and do a little trial myself. If I do, I’ll make sure I write about my experience here.
In the meantime, I’ve put together this wish list of sticker books that look fun *and* educational *and* potentially useful for homeschooling. From history to geography, from dinosaurs to space exploration, these educational sticker books are just what parents need to catch their homeschooling child’s attention and pique their interest — lessons made fun!

Our Sticker Book Experience Today: Medieval History
Today, we actually used one of our sticker books to learn about medieval life — their castles, socioeconomic classes, food, medical practices, and how they carried out warfare. (Yes, all that from a thin sticker book.)
As follow-up activity, my son then constructed a toy wooden catapult that we got from Shopee.
