HAVE FUN!

I don't homeschool. Well, maybe in a way I do - I help my niece.

I am always looking for supplies, natural or made to use for projects and crafts.

This week a friend called me and had items she had to get out of storage. After she brought some up, she mentioned colored paper and folders. I told her to bring them up. 10 boxes..., sigh. But the folders are colored so good for crafting and making cards. There are sticky tablets and a huge box of multicolored paper. I am saving some for me, giving some to my niece and there is a homeschooling center in a close by town that will get the rest.

There were also two end tables that had glass in the top. I don't need the end tables but the paper its wrapped in, about 8 pieces deep and different colors will be crafting projects for the kids. Thye are big enough I plant to trace the kids and they will have their silhouette to do with what they want.

Homeschooling is definitely a huge project to take on but if I had children I would.

@Monek Marie Do you know what file folders are good for? Making lapbooks. I could see you enjoying making one of these with someone. There is a link on this page (the colored boxes) that should lead to lapbook ideas, suggestions & templates.

One of our most fun ones we made (Canadian History) got a little chunky, but it was fun. Nobody actually has completed it, so I think it will be a continued work. I think it was e or 4 file folders for the one section, but had to be expanded into a second volume. I'm sure there will be more yet.

I homeschool my kids. I usually use a purchased curriculum for the basics but I really like the world as my classroom approach. We only spend a couple of hours a day doing any type of book work. A lot of our learning is as hands on as I can make it.
