8 Homeschooling Tips for Busy Parents with Activity Ideas

8 Homeschooling Tips for Busy Parents with Activity Ideas

I’ve been homeschooling preschool since my son showed interest in learning. Heck! I started reading to him when he was in my belly. But, for some reason, the thought of homeschooling kindergarten (coming up for my son and me in the fall) is a little scary.

To be candid, it’s because I’m putting the pressure of a traditional school schedule on myself.

I end up with the question like, “How am I suppose to fit that in our everyday life?” Especially with two other little ones and a dog. That’s going to be so difficult.

But, it doesn’t have to be that way. I can embrace a lifestyle of learning. Where my family can use everyday experiences as learning opportunities. We can learn during the day, at night, on weekends and even holidays!

We can learn math while baking or grocery shopping at farmer’s market. We can learn science while outside or on a trip to the beach. Learning can be plugged into our already busy lives giving my kiddos natural opportunities to grow.

Of course we will use curriculums. Of course we will be meeting our state’s requirements. But, I can release the fear of fitting a classroom setting into our lifestyle.

And that’s the beauty of homeschool.

Letter D Activity Worksheet & Video

Letter D Activity Worksheet & Video

D is for Dinosaur. It definitely is! Especially in my house. My kids love running around pretending they are dinosaurs. They have some foam dinosaur masks that they put on while they see who can roar the loudest. It’s really fun to watch! So, naturally, when it came to learning the letter D, I made a toddler activity that included tracing a dinosaur, coloring it and identifying the letter D.

But, why stop there. Keep the dinosaur fun up too! Here is what we did for our dinosaur activity:

Make a dinosaur out of paper towel rolls

I found this pin on Pinterest to make a dinosaur out of paper towel rolls. It has pictures to try and replicate the dinosaur. But, I figured I make a DIY video for you all to follow along and make these. It takes less than 5 minutes to do (2 minutes and 54 seconds to be exact). Watch the DIY video below (don’t mind how dorky I am; I feel really weird making videos – my brain goes blank and then I sound, well, weird. I will get better the more DIY videos I make for you mamas):Continue Reading…
