Make a simple paper hat with your child. This activity pairs well with books such as 𝘗𝘶𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘴, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘵 by Jan Brett, and 𝘐 𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘔𝘺 𝘏𝘢𝘵 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘬.⠀
⠀
For this activity you will need newspaper or newsprint, tape or a stapler, and markers. Add a feather on the top if your child would like even more embellishment. Start by giving your child a piece of newspaper. Use a full sheet folded in half lengthwise, portrait style, with the fold away from your child. You can tape two pieces of construction paper together if you cannot new newspaper, it is just much stiffer to work with. Show your child how to fold the right top corner down towards the bottom, leaving about 2 inches at the bottom (the open side) not covered by the triangle that is created by folding that corner down. Ask them to fold the left top corner down in the same manner. Each side of the paper is being folded the same. Next, have your child fold the bottom of the paper, where the triangle is not overlapping it, up twice on each side (front and back) to create the brim of the hat. Now, it is easy to plop the hat on your child’s head. Give your child the markers to decorate the hat with.

In Level 1 Singapore Math, Mrs. Houser has a fun tool for teaching "< more than" and "> less than". ⠀
⠀
Make your own "greater than" and "less than" chomping crocodiles like Mrs. Houser with just a few supplies - green, white, yellow and black construction paper, glue stick, and scissors. ⠀
⠀
Remember, the crocodile will always want to eat the greater number. 🐊

🌼 Smashing flowers is an activity that is super

🌼 Smashing flowers is an activity that is super straightforward, but a literal basket of fun for your preschooler. Gather a basket of flowers from nature (or ask for wilted leftovers from your local flower shop or grocery store), some white paper, and set out a variety of smooth rocks and a hammer. Show your child how to extract color from the flowers onto the paper by laying them down on and smashing them with their rocks and tools. Smash bang boom, now you have a piece of art colored by nature! 🌸⠀

Give your learning space a refresh! Here are a few

Give your learning space a refresh! Here are a few tips from some of our community members for some simple changes to feel renewed and excited about learning together.⠀
⠀
1. Reorganize (maybe rainbowtize - thanks to @thehomeedit this is probably a legit word now) your bookshelf. 🌈⠀
⠀
2. Add some new greenery by getting a few fresh plants, or by planting some seeds or starters in pots to watch the fresh growth together. 🌱⠀
⠀
3. Add a large blackboard or whiteboard to a wall or desktop (did you know that you can buy a whiteboard desk? See what they look like in our math videos 😉)⠀
⠀
4. Declutter by packing away all items that aren't being used this year but will be needed again. If you have a preschooler in the house, consider cycling groups of play materials in and out of storage to give them something "new" every week or two. 📦⠀
⠀
5. Donate (or sell) items you'll no longer need. A lot of new homeschool moms would love to use what you don't need, and there are many homeschool-specific buy, sell and donate groups dedicated to this type of community sharing. 📚⠀
⠀
6. Repaint a piece of old furniture in a fun new color (or let the kids do it!). 👩🏼‍🎨⠀
⠀
7. Secure baskets holding your most-used items (such as pencils, markers, scissors, and glue) to the wall or sides of desks to save worktop space. ✏️⠀
⠀
8. Add a globe, because it'll make you feel smarter. (J/K, but we do love a nice globe 😄). 🌎⠀
⠀
Do you have a homeschooling space that you're proud of? Tag us in your photos and we'll share on our Stories!⠀
