Creative Homeschooling Moments
In my previous post I shared how we spent seven days with my precious niece around the house. What I didn't share was all the creative homeschooling going on that wasn't about the baby!
The girls were experimenting with making an ice rink for their American Girl dolls to "skate" on.
They used a metal jelly roll pan and filled it with water and some snow, then set it outside (which was -10!) to freeze.
Adding Snow!
Using the rolling pin as a "zamboni."
Adding more snow!
They were definitely using scientific reasoning and experimentation for this project! It was fun to listen to them talk through all their thought processes!
While the girls were busy with ice rink making, my son and I played Star Wars Monopoly to help him with his addition/subtraction and money counting skills.
Schoolin' is hard some days, but someone's gotta teach them these skills!
He was thrilled to play a game with Mommy and we had loads of fun taking over the galaxy!
My oldest practiced her fiber industry skills and resourcefulness by crocheting a sweater and shorts for her Barbie doll without a pattern! It was a fabulous way to use all her leftover remnants of yarn!
She is so talented! I am so amazed at her skills!
My youngest made us a very creative snack!
We were all out of graham crackers for the classic snack the kids love ( peanut butter and chocolate chips on top). So she improvised and used mint flavored gingersnap cookies from Sweden.
It was so yummy! Culinary artist for sure!
Hope you enjoyed our creative homeschooling moments! We had a ball! What are some of your creative homeschooling moments?
