Absolutely! In fact, Bear (11) often pops into our lessons. He can't stay away from good books and hands-on learning opportunities. Bear even wanted to make a Geography Notebook, too. Younger kids (toddlers and preschoolers) would enjoy snuggling up as you read books like Grandma Gatewood Hikes the Appalachian Trail and There's a Map on My Lap!. The only consumable items are the large blank map and The United States Activity and Fact Book. If your kids don't mind working together on the map, you'd only need one. I would recommend customizing your pack with extra copies of the activity and fact book if more than one child will be participating in your lessons.
