Free Homeschooling Activities
To Make Learning Fun

Homeschooling works – and I'm hoping to be able to use my experience to show you how.

For me, homeschool was the natural choice because that's exactly what my parents did - making me one of the very few 'second-generation' homeschooling families. O.K. – maybe that makes me a bit biased, but it also gives me the confidence to know that academically there's no contest.

You can achieve the highest academic standards if that's your goal; more importantly you have the ability in your hands to sow the seeds for a happy, creative and fulfilled young person.

All you need to decide is whether it's the right choice for you. I'll be looking at the advantages as well as some of the disadvantages (yes, there are some!).

crafts easy for kids

You'll soon find there are lots of different ways to do homeschooling. To me, it's not important whether you follow a structured approach with scheduling, worksheets and a specific curriculum or you decide to be totally unstructured and 'go with the flow.'

What is vital is that whatever method you choose you make sure that following your childrens' interests is at their heart.

We all face challenges. Here's some Sarah posted on my Facebook wall:

How do I make time for fun and still get all the work done?

How do I teach the higher grades when I'm not sure I know the stuff they are learning!!!

Finding the right material can be tricky with so many choices!

homeschool activities

By helping each other and sharing ideas for the best curriculums and free homeschooling worksheets around I hope you'll find what suits you best.

We decided the best way to help you was to start making our own free homeschooling worksheets and free monthly newsletter.

As you can see, I've started by bribing Catherine to illustrate these lovely free printable story writing worksheets.

I hope that one look at the activities we have done here as a family will convince you that following my children's delight in dragons and dinosaurs has taken us far beyond anywhere a school curriculum would dare to go.

Best wishes
