Pins for everything!

I thought that since I use pinterest so much that I should have a post every so often where I share my pins with you!

So, this post is simply to share one pin from several of my pin boards. I think I'm trying to give a purpose to my pinning obsession.

DIY homeschool materials


It looks a bit intimidating, I might just print mine out, laminate and hot glue sandpaper on the back to use on a felt board.

I love this idea for making art wherever you are!

Pool noodles are only $1 at the Dollar Tree. I love open ended play like this.

What a fun way to learn their names!


This is a brilliant way to learn about ecology.


I have no idea how we would store or display something like this, but I LOVE it!




Could use peg dolls instead of mini figs.



I love turning learning into a game, it's great to see kids having fun while they learn.

 A great way to recreate an old game to turn it into a fun learning game. I'm sure this could be done with other game boards, or a printed game board.

That's it for now!

Monkey turned 4 and kept wanting more, I got tired of the hours I spent planning and preparing for each week, so I started buying curriculum, it isn't necessary, but for me to have extra time, it is SO worth it!

Shaving cream for cleaning and writing practice was a GREAT idea... until I left the room to clean up and found shaving cream all over their bodies and our air purifier, whoops! Our local teacher and parent resource center has a TON of great shoebox workboxes available for rent, the first one I rented has two colored wooden balls attached to a short dowel rod, you have to push it through half way into the hole in the middle so you can slide it to one of the sides, Froggy really enjoys this! We use the Raising Rock Stars for phonics reinforcement, we're going through the alphabet a final time before starting the next level of a reading curriculum. We use this kinderga
