Amazon has some good deals for starter musical instruments if you’re in the market for one. Jonathan (10) saved up and bought this beginner’s full-size guitar, and I’ve been impressed with its quality (especially for the price!). 

It’s #1 in acoustic guitars on Amazon and has over 400 5-star reviews.

This is one of those books (& series) that has worked its way into my heart – If you’ve never head of Miroslav Sasek & his global world tours you’re missing out!

This one compiles several of his titles into a single treasury. I’d recommend for ages 7 and up, but younger kids will love the illustrations as well.

Looking for a new geography resource in your homeschool? Check out The Adventurous Mailbox​, which ships packages of adventure books from abroad, each one focused on a separate country.

You can also buy access to a Teacher’s Lounge, which offers hundreds of lessons that correspond to the stories–so cool!
