Weekend homeschool links
My lo is almost 2 and just loves to tuck his teddy up in bed.
My daughter is 6 and she loves blocks and play silks. Thanks for the opportunity!
Our children are 10, 8, 5 and 2. Lately it has been legos, cardboard boxes and masking tape. 🙂 Thanks for this opportunity!
I like both pages on Facebook (Judith Martinez)
My children are 17, 12, 10, 6 and 3. They all love building Legos, the younger ones love their dolls and stuffies and all of them besides the 3 year old make up stories.
My kids, 9, 4, and 2, love playsilks. They use them for dress up, tents, dance accessories, you name it. If I had to choose just one toy to keep for my kids, that would be it!
One childay 7 years old. Who loves dress up silks, pvc pipe building kit.
Liked both simple home school and imagine childhood.
My children are 4, 5, 7 & 8. For my oldest I would say lego and the bottom 2 would be each other with perhaps a block or 2 of wood. The 7 year old needs nothing except her animal loving brain to be off on an adventure as a puppy, horse or kitty….as for an item, maybe a stuffy to be mommy or sister too (everyone animal needs an adventuring companion).
I homeschooled my 2 children (who are now college age) & now teach 7 children K-2 in a small school. My class love to play legos, I recently set out a wooden train set with bottle brush trees and a white felt Christmas tree wrap to play with it on. They are having so much fun setting it up, & I love to watch them playing together & problem solving how to go about what they are doing.
I have followed Simple Homeschool for a while now & I was very happy to learn about Imagine Childhood. I have now liked it also! Thanks!
6, 3, and almost three months. Sticks, rocks and dirt always a winner!
Liked on Facebook!
My two year old loves baby dolls…my six year old loves to draw, play with legos, and outdoor games, my eleven year old loves to play soccer and draw and my twelve year old loves handicrafts like sewing and knitting. Thank you for the chance to win!!
My kids are 8,6,3, & 1 and we love playsilks and pillows to make cozy forts (:
I have liked both pages! Thank you!
Our kids are 16, 13, 11, 8, 6, 4, and 2. Some favourite toys to spark their imagination these days are: boxes, Legos, markers, and dolls. I took a peek at the imagine childhood blog, and it looks great – so many interesting links and ideas.
My kids are 8.5, 5.5, 4, & 18mo. Hands down favorite toys are
lego’s!
They are 6, 4, 2, and newborn. The best source of imaginative play in our house is the bin of small people and animals.
My children are 17, 13, and 9, and their favorite open-ended or imaginative play toy would be Lego. But they do love Minecraft/Terraria and I like how creative it allows them to be.
I like Simple Homeschool and Imagine Childhood on FB.
I have 2 energetic homeschooled kids who love to get down and dirty in the mud, swinging from trees- outdoor exploration… Love Imagine Childhood- my favourite store.. This money would help so much this year.
My child is 2 and loves playmobil and any small figures play!
Madalynn 13, Brian 11, Ellie 5, Nate 3. Madalynn and Brian would be lego. Ellie and Nate would be baby dolls and cars
My kids are 12, 10, 8, and 6 and they are inspired to be creative by the simple things, sticks, cardboard boxes, and their stuffed animals. They also love art supplies of all kinds.
