We have had the Thinkfun Roll and Play game in our house for a couple of years now. I got it for Ladybug when she was just a wee toddler. It has been a delightful addition to our homeschool days. When we pull this game out, we all get involved. Even though it is a [...]

What happened to make such a big change for my five-year-old son? ~ This review contains affiliate links because we love this homeschool [...]

They make learning so much fun! The set consists of 35 bugs and 23 cards. There are several ways you can use [...]
You know how, in secret societies, people recognize each other by a sign, a gesture, or a word? Well, that’s how I used to feel about Geography Songs. You’d just have to start, “North A-MER-i-ca,” and any homeschooler nearby would join in, “South A-MER-i-ca!” That’s how we could tell who homeschooled. I haven’t heard much [...]
