As a homeschooling mother, I have noticed that kids learn much better when learning is fun, especially for kindergarten students. For example, my 5-year-old girl loves to play memory and asks me regularly if I can play with her. I usually take the time to play with her because I know how happy she will be. Do you have a child who loves to play board games? I can recommend Memory because it is a fun board game for the entire family. Playing games together is a great addition to homeschooling life.

These Preschool Spring Worksheets are a great way to practice fine motor skills, learn about uppercase and lowercase letters, language arts, math, science, and much more! The interactive worksheets help young learners have fun while developing their math skills, color recognition, and more!

Wonders of Spring: Activities To Do With Your Kids

Now that spring is around the corner, I cannot wait to start working in the garden. There is so much for us to learn in the garden; we just have to get outside and start. Some of my cultivation plans for this summer include growing tomatoes, cucumbers, various vegetables, and different kinds of flowers.

Our children love to play outside and explore in the garden. For example, learning about the frog life cycle is amazing. The development of tadpoles into frogs is fascinating, and experiencing it firsthand rather than from a book is even better! That is hands-on learning!

If you do not have a garden, don’t worry! You can always take the kids to the beach, the forest, or a park in the city. I can almost promise you that the kids will enjoy it and love it! The warmer weather also makes it easier to enjoy with younger kids. Life becomes a little easier when we can take the kids outside for a longer period, right? The spring season is fun!

We are very lucky to live in a place where nature is just outside the door. If you do not have any ideas on what to do outside, try these different activities:

• Eat breakfast outside.
• Read aloud and bring a book basket with you.
• Do schoolwork outside, using your curriculum or these spring kindergarten worksheets in this blog post!
• Have tea time outside.
• Plant seeds and cultivate.
• Have a scavenger hunt.

These activities are just a handful of suggestions for what to do with your kids outside this spring. For me, spring is the favorite time of the year. That is when everything is coming alive, the birds are singing, and when we can start growing our food and other plants. I just love it so much!

Additionally, there is so much for young minds to explore outside. Kids are happier and more relaxed outside, and my husband and I love to work together in the garden. There are endless opportunities and projects that you can do. If I am not careful, I tend to start with too many plans and projects and easily get overwhelmed by them, haha! That is my biggest challenge, not having too much to do!

With older children, you might want to engage them differently than you do with your preschooler. When the child is seven or older, my suggestion is to give them more responsibility along the way. Work together and give them an area in your garden where they can grow their food or flowers or whatever they want. If they are more interested in building things, maybe they want to build a treehouse? Providing them with the materials they need and helping them start thinking will encourage them to start working.

A Day in April

This blog post has been on hold for a while, and time has flown by since I wrote here! Now it is the second of May, and the days are getting hotter, and the sun is shining. The doors are mostly open during the day when it is warm. I woke up early (4 am), had my devotions, and did my workout. Then, my youngest woke up, and we started the day slowly. I breastfed him, and he had some breakfast. Then, he was ready to go outside. I tried to keep him inside for as long as possible because it was too early to go outside. After a while, I gave in and went out with him.

I worked for a while but got many interruptions as expected. The older kids woke up at 9 am (which is very late, haha). They usually wake up earlier, but now that we have returned from Iceland, they haven’t gotten used to the time difference in Sweden.

After breakfast, they did their schoolwork outside/inside and played on the trampoline. They also played their instruments and worked with me in the garden. Today, we prepared tomato soil for our tomato plants, which we will cultivate in our greenhouse. The kids are very helpful in the garden when they have something to look forward to. When I promise that they can have screen time afterward, they are more motivated to work.

Furthermore, they are very good at taking care of our youngest child. I feel that I get more accomplished when they are awake and playing with him, haha!

Later, when the young boy was taking a nap, the older children had some screen time while I had time to finish writing this blog post. Rest of the day they played with a friend and me and my husband worked in the garden. It was a pleasant day.

Cultivating With Kids

If you want to teach your children how to cultivate in your garden, try this:

• Prepare equipment for cultivation. You do not have to have everything, but you need to have a rake and a spade. Make sure you have something for the kids to work with. I also recommend a good pair of gloves to protect your and your kids’ hands.
• Prepare the cultivation beds with soil that is suitable for the plants you want to grow.
• Start early enough. A couple years ago, when I started cultivating tomato plants, I started too late in the season. The summer is short in Sweden, and we have to use the time wisely. Starting to plant seeds in February is a good time. You can also buy a plant from the store, of course. When you buy the seeds, look at the back of the seed packet to know when it is the best time to start planting the seeds.
• Do not be afraid to make mistakes. In order to be successful in your garden, you need to go through trial and error along the way. That is also how you learn the most.
• Cultivate what you want to eat. Sometimes I have cultivated food that is not a favorite in our home. It feels a bit sad to do so much work and then no one wants to eat it, haha. What I would recommend you to do is to cultivate more of the food that you eat a lot of, like potatoes, onions, carrots, etc. And start with food that is not too difficult or complicated to grow.
• Work together. Have your kids close by when you work in the garden. They will need your warm guidance and encouraging words. This will make good memories for life!

Cultivation in your garden gives s a perfect learning environment for the kids. My kids observe what I do and try to grow plants with me. This is so much fun!

You need it!
