The Ultimate Book of Homeschooling Ideas: 500+ Fun and Creative Learning Activities for Kids Ages 3-12 (Prima Home Learning Library)

Fantastic book!! I recommend this book for anyone that has kids, is around kids or works with kids! And not just at school age either - there are so many fun games you can play here and adapt to any age, even preschool. And it's not just for HomeSchooling Mums either - these are great ideas that can help any mum give their child at school that little bit extra help while still having fun. Such a fun book, so many fun ideas that will have your child learning without even realising it and you'll be having fun too. A must have for every mum!!

I borrowed this book from the library and it was so full of ideas that I decided I needed it for my reference shelf. Lots of great ideas broken down by subject which is why it makes for such a terrific reference book. Many of the ideas are simply, and require little if any tools or props which makes them easy to initiate and build upon if they are a success for you. I also like that many times web sites were provided in conjunction with many of the ideas so I could do further research or find downloads that were applicable. My child is 6 years hold, and many of the ideas in this book work to introduce a new concept such as subtraction --- I appreciate that so many people were willing to share their ideas that work!

This book is FULL of obvious, but amazing ideas using items around the house to help parent's who love lesson plans to break out! I was one of those parent's schooling from lesson plans and workbooks. However, this book is great for my 4th grader and 3 yr old. It has so many ideas, you may not need to use one twice:) Purchase this book knowing it will assist you in being more hands-on, more spontaneous, and more fun in teaching.

I just received this book a few days ago and I sat reading through some of the activities for a few hours last night, highlighting the ones I plan on using with my 5 year old son! I homeschool my kindergarten son and he's very energetic and typically balks at "traditional" teaching so I ordered this book on a hunt for some fresh ideas to use in our homeschool. A few of the ideas in this book are a little obvious, but creativity is not one of my personal gifts (lol) so i find this book extremely usefull. Not only are the ideas and activities great, but as a whole it is helping me to "think outside the box" with my son's education.

I'm a single dad with a 4 year old preparing to homeschooling becouse f$&# the indoctrination centers and all the dead beat parents who do nothing for their kids in my city. I will not allow my son to be around their aweful kids with no class or manners. If I trusted my city's parents and could respect them and their children I'd maybe consider doing public school but no way. I'll have my son at a high-school graduate level by the time he's 10 and we will have and live an adventurous life. So as long as I breath air I will not allow my son to be brainwashed and have his youth stolen from him by the government and strangers. Seek truth people. Load up on educational books and teach your kids well. Even if they attend the indoctrination centers you should still buy these books to learn and get ideas from. Write your own book!!

It's not all that often I give reviews on Amazon but I just had to comment on this amazing book. A wonderful resource for the homeschool parent or anybody with an avid interest in their child's learning. Full of unique and doable games, activities, crafts to aid in teaching your child. I could not put this down. Even once I read it, I have gone back time and again to re-read it to make sure I'm not forgetting about the many amazing ideas. Linda, thank you for making this book. It has been such a blessing to me as a teacher to my varied in ages children. I just had to tell you!!!

The activities weren't quite what I was expecting - I was hoping for a bit more substance rather than roll-dice-and-add-numbers kinds of things. Nothing you can't find online with a quick search. HOWEVER, I thought the non-activity info was actually quite helpful - some good organizational ideas and such that were nice to read.

This book is full of great ideas for those days when we feel like doing something different and fun. Everything is written by subject, so if you don't feel like doing a typical science lesson, you can turn to the Science section and pick out something from several different ideas. The kids loved the M&M science project, nothing shocking about that!! It gives you a list of inexpensive supplies, most are sitting around your house. Great book, great ideas, great price........simply great!

I purchased this for my godchildren who are now being homeschooled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I found the activities and ideas to be comprehensive and creative. It makes learning fun and piques the curiosity. It is not curriculum based, but rather supports active learning in daily life. This style of teaching and learning is ideal for their family style. Imaginative, adaptable, and thoroughly enjoyable!

Love this book! Totally reinforces my thoughts on home education.

Buon libro per chi vuole avere sotto mano sempre idee da lanciare ai propri figli, lo suggerisco! peccato che libri così si trovano solo in inglese..

Great stuff!!!

Happy with this book.
