Blogging for Kids

Do your kids blog? Then I would like to invite them to a carnival!!
A blog carnival is just a list of blog post by different blogs gathered together in one place. The idea is that the reader gets to find lots of new blogs to read - and the blogs get more readers!!
My children both […]

Photographic treasure hunt

I got the inspiration for this treasure hunt from a blog I read* ages ago, and this is my version of it. This geography activity develops map skills and observation. You do need some time to set it up, but it can be adapted to any age or skill level. The purpose of the activity […]

You upload your own pictures for each trading card and add your details, then save the finished card to your PC and print it out. Either make a full deck, or add to an existing […]

Exercise wise, it is reputed to help core balance, mental concentration […]

Home Educating in an Hour!!
I choose to cover 6 subjects for 10 minutes each - one quick hour of home educating, […]

Free Hidden Picture Puzzles

Found a great site for free hidden picture puzzles - you know - the sort you have to hunt around the picture to find the hidden items! They have printable hidden pictures, or you can play online.
The site is HighlightsKids. The rest of the site is worth a look too - I liked their science […]

Make your own comic

Have you ever wanted to make your own comic? Thats what we have been looking at this week (its a great way to encourage children to read and write!).
I found several ways to make online comics. The first is from Makebeliefscomix. This one is aimed specifically at children, and you can print or email your […]
