I am always on the lookout for hands-on learning opportunities for my kids. And I especially love science. So when I recently came across this Back to the Roots Oyster Mushroom Kit for growing our own mushrooms. I was intrigued.

As much as possible I strive to be a hands-on teacher to my children. So when we wanted to learn the parts of a flower, there was no better way to do it than to get our hands on actual flowers that we could dissect. In this post I am sharing an activity in which […]

This was a basic math activity I cooked up to introduce some simple graphing practice to my kids. Because we had never done any graphing work before, I wanted to keep this activity simple. I also wanted something colorful and fun that would grab their attention. Fortunately, this pom pom graphing activity fit the bill […]
