Green Kid Crafts was one of my favorite homeschool discoveries last year – monthly arts & crafts kits mailed to us each month, with all supplies included!

These are great for ages 4-9 and right now you can save $10 off any new subscription. Just use the code “BACK2SCHOOL10” – expires Aug 31st.

Math-U-See is a popular homeschool curriculum choice for K-12 Math because of its video lessons (You don’t have to be an expert to teach!) and its visual approach using manipulatives to build mastery – making it a good fit for many different types of learning styles.

Current freebies from Educents include back-to-school printables, math posters, & a homeschool planner for the new year. Plus use the code “BTS10” for 10% extra off their other deals!

“Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.”
