    My son is 5 1/2 – we homeschool in our basement but don’t have a ton of decorations up right now. I have a presidents poster, US map, world map and an American flag. That’s all for now. Thanks for all you do!

    My children are 7,5,and 2. We just moved so we don’t have any decorations up, these would be perfect for our space!

    My kids are 5 and 3. We homeschool at our kitchen table as we don’t have any other place right now. So I don’t really have any decorations up. 🙁

    Our daughters are 6 and 3 years old. We usually have seasonal decorations they make, as well as a sight word caterpillar I made. These resources would definitely add more educational value to our homeschool – thank you for the contest!

    My sons are 4 and 2.5. Don’t have too many decorations since the younger one is always on a search and destroy mission, but I put children’s books in every room!

    My kids are 16, 14, 11, 8, and 5. We homeschool in the kitchen so we don’t do a lot of decorating! But we have a bookshelf by the table and a nearby closet converted into a school closet with our many resources.

    My son is two so we are planning what is to come and I am reading as much about homeschooling as we can to be somewhat prepared. Decorations are limited at this point.

    My kids are 4&3. We’ve just moved into a small apartment while we wait on my husband to receive a commission in the US Air Force and then make another move. We do work at the dinner table and store supplies and books in a bedroom. A few posters they’ve colored and other artwork is all we have up for now.

    My kids are 6 and 4. We do our school work at the dining room table. We have a small house and don’t have anywhere else.
