Another FREE show available via Amazon Prime, Fetch captivated my kiddos with its game-show style/reality TV format. There’s always an educational component that leads contestants to learn a science or math concept. Fun for ages 6-8!

This is one of the homeschooling books I go back to when I need someone to talk me down from the ledge, when I’m desperate to walk the kids out to the closest bus stop, or when I’ve convinced myself that all the responsibility for their future rests solely on my imperfect shoulders.

If you’re drawn to an alternative, creative style of education, but still want the comfort of an organized homeschooling plan to follow, take a peek at Oak Meadow. 

We loved their program as a foundation when the kids were younger, and their curricula goes all the way through high school!

Do you have a science lover in your homeschool…or would you like to inspire one?

Take a look at the offerings from Home Science Tools​ for entry-level (yet high quality) microscopes, starter science kits, and chemistry/physics supplies for older ages.
