My fourth-grader still struggles with her math facts. We’ve tried just about everything to help her “get it,” but nothing has worked as well for us as this super-simple hands-on skip counting bar I created on a whim. If your children struggle with multiplication facts, I hope they find this number line helpful, too! Skip…
Astronomy is a subject that is often overlooked, but it’s also one that many young students (and older ones too) are very interested in! I remember as a child when my dad told my sister and me that we would get to stay up late that night to drive out to the country and try…
What a fun craft for kids to make and give as a gift for Mother’s Day or for any day, right?! Anyone who receives this “I love you because” frame would love it! Write a different inspiring or encouraging message each day! In this post, you will have a chance to make an “I love…

The Fruit of the Spirit is awesome. I love teaching it to my children. For this lesson, I picked the first three on the list found at Galatians 5:22 and 23. We read the passage and talked about the first three: love, joy, and peace. We spoke about examples for each and how we can…
My 13-year-old son and I enjoy doing unit studies. As we read through whatever book we’re currently working on, we do crafts that go along with it. We recently read a book that mentioned a mermaid painting on the wall, and it reminded me of a stained glass window. That caused me to remember a…
While many families around the United States will be trick or treating on October 31st, our family has chosen to celebrate an event in Church history that is worth remembering. On October 31, 1517, in Wittenberg, Germany, Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses on the Power of Efficacy of Indulgences to the door of the Castle…
What can you do for those rainy days when your kids can’t go outside but you want to have fun together? Why not take it as an opportunity to do an art lesson or teach a new art skill? Art is fun when it’s stress free, and if you let your children be creative, they…
Here is a fun and easy craft to teach your children about “joy” and what it means. Joy is defined as “a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.” (Google) I started out by talking to my children about joy and what it means. And I read the Scripture below to them: Psalm 103: 1-5 (NLT) 1 Let…
Some people tend to be crafty, and others have a more classical approach to art. I do a little of both but tend more toward a fine arts approach when it comes to materials. If you’re looking for help in choosing art supplies, look no further! I’ve made a list and done the shopping for…

The thing I like most about these funny little mixed up scribble creatures is that they are whimsical and clearly imaginary. One thing I feel that’s missing for many children today is a sense of imagination….
