Blank World History Timeline
This site uses affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!I first heard about the concept of a blank world history timeline in the book More Charlotte Mason Education. If one follows those guidelines, each child has their own "Book of Centuries" that they keep throughout their whole education (starting maybe around 4th grade). Each century of human history ...
Rhyming Wheels
This site uses affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!I was inspired to make these rhyming wheels by a book from the 1970's called Teaching the Young Child by Susan Rounds. Her idea involved two paper plates and no flaps or pictures, but she didn't have the photo editing software that made making these easy. Basically, the way these work is that ...
Solar System Cards
This site uses affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!Is there anyone who isn't fascinated by astronomy?

Thank you!My husband made butter in a baby food jar as a child and it must have made a strong impression, because he's been saying we should do this for YEARS. (I think even before we had kids.) Well, we finally did it and I can attest that it was just as easy and satisfying (and delicious) as he said it ...

Homemade Wigglebot
This site uses affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!Okay, so technically this is not a robot. It doesn't have any sensors. It doesn't have a controller or computer chip. It isn't responding directly to external stimuli. But, hey, you have to start somewhere and my kindergartener definitely thought our homemade wigglebot was cool. He was so excited by ...
World Zoology Cards
This site uses affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!Little kids love animals. I've been wanting to make some cards like these since my first child was a toddler. He loved learning and reading about animals so much, I figured why NOT start teaching him about the different types of animals like mammals, birds, and reptiles? There's so much knowledge ...
Relative Sizes of Planets
This site uses affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!I've always been fascinated by space. When I applied to college, I actually listed Astronomy as my intended major. Something about the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of our little planet on a cosmic scale brings me comfort. How can my problems possibly be worth stressing out over ...
