One of the biggest ways to encourage growth in your homeschool is to be sure you add fun! No matter what subject you are studying with your children, there are ways to add fun learning to it!
Our children’s interest in learning will greatly increase if we do more than just give them a textbook to read and questions to answer.

Crafts and Experiments
Kids love hands-on learning! The more opportunities that we give them to create or explore the subjects and topics that they’re learning about in our homeschool, the more they will understand, process and want to learn more! Crafts and experiments can be used for each subject or topic that you’re learning about in your homeschool! Visit our Science Experiments and Kids Crafts Pinterest boards for great ideas!
