We’ve been homeschooling my two older sons this year and have done a number of fun projects with them. I like to work with what I have on hand because I’m struggling to get to the store with the 3 littles at home.

Last week we made DIY old fashioned paper. We’ve been reading You wouldn’t want to live without writing and You wouldn’t want to live without books. This series is pretty fun- lots of gross details that kids love, but the books are packed with information that covers history, science, and health.
