Make homeschool exciting
Though some of you might be loving having your kids at home all the time, trying to find creative ways to help them keep learning over the summer might not be going as well as you had hoped. Below are some helpful tools to keep their math and geography knowledge as sharp as ever until they go back to school in the fall. Because as easy as it is to plop your kids down to watch an endless amount of movies over the summer, it’s definitely not ideal for their cognitive development. These ideas will still give you the breather you need, but will also give your kids productive and stimulating ways to spend their time that don’t involve a screen.
Books
Need some screen-free entertainment to hand out? Your kids could be quite the bookworms by the end of the summer! Here are some of our favorites:
Keep your hands busy and your mind clear!
We’ll say it again for the people in the back – KEEP YOUR HANDS BUSY. We promise it will help. If you have already finished all the puzzles at your house, these puzzles and games will keep you busy for a while!

OMG I love these tips! The reading books one is something I’ve been trying so I can help build a habit for my kids to read more and more. It also helps me get into reading because I’m not the best reader myself. Going outside has been kinda hard especially when kids feel lazy but it works best when I make it sound like an adventure for them!
