Easter Crafts For Kids

Easter wouldn't be Easter without the eggs! We show you lots of different ideas to decorate them, including the traditional wax and dye method and marbling. Paper mache eggs are great for filling with candy and you could add to the fun with a home school Easter bunny mask.

Holiday Activities For Children

Sometimes you need to find homeschool activities which work whatever the holiday! My children William and Catherine love spending time making plastic model airplane kits and here they give you their home school tips on choosing the best makes and how to make holiday kids crafts fun for everyone.

Summer Crafts For Kids

These colorful wind streamers are great for running round outdoors. Summer is obviously the best time to try them but if you're looking for some home school ideas for when the kids are going up the walls I've used them pretty much any time of year.

Summer Activities For Kids

Thanksgiving Activities For Kids

Ideas to make a beautiful Thanksgiving tree along with some fun with play dough and native Indian crafts. If you want to make Thanksgiving special, you could leave out a homemade gift for someone else's child to find.

Christmas Activities For Kids

From homeschool snowflakes to homemade Christmas cards, this is the time of year when there are so many home school ideas to choose from you'll have trouble fitting Santa in!

Pine cones make perfect mini-Christmas trees and homeschool Christmas crackers really add to the fun and games on the day itself.

Halloween Craft Ideas

If you'd like a change from the modern ghastly horror Halloween crafts, try our home school wholesome craft ideas as we celebrate the festival with bat mobiles and lanterns along with the traditional pumpkin.

Fall Crafts For Kids

Fall crafts

Fall is the time of beautiful colors and gives you a wonderful opportunity - all those intricately patterned leaves lying round calling out to be made use of. We love home school autumn crafts and wax leaf rubbing and leaf prints are just two of the homeschool ideas which are great for this time of year. Why not try a fall leaf collage, go berry picking, and make some home-made paper?

Home school ideas and activities come naturally when you fit in with the seasons and join in the festive fun.
