Favorite FREEBIE Homeschool Websites

These links are a wonderful way to bring education into your home and to supplement your homeschooling. There are links for preschoolers, grade schoolers, junior high, high school and Moms.

Some are oldies but goodies and some are ones you may have never seen before. These are in no certain order, just some different sites that we really enjoy and get a lot of help from. These are also great to have in a SAFE folder for your child to be able to go to when they have their media time. Please let me know if any of the links are bad and I will get them fixed.
Happy schooling!

Hoping your enjoy some of these free goodies along your journey of crisis homeschooling or full-time homeschooling. Some of the links contain Christian materials and I did not receive any compensation from any of these websites for listing their links in this blog post.

Homeschool Mom Treat

I like to find myself some sort of small treat to perk me up through the school year. Last month while in Indiana I found the perfect back to school goody for myself.  We were at the container store when I found these little gems.


They are called Magnetic Dry Erase Talk Bubbles and they retail for $6.99. You can get them right here Magnetic Dry Erase Talk Bubbles. So very cute!! LOVE THEM! I have been writing chores on them for our son. They have perked up my day. See what they can do for you.

Book Monsters (craft idea)


These are called Book Monsters from Positively Peaches blog. I love the idea. I was having a bad day and a friend of mine and her husband made a little talking video with these cute little guys for me. It cheered me up, if she would like to share her video here she may  ;-)

Here is a link to how to make these guys. I think I am going to make some with pretty patterned paper and skip the monster idea. Here is an idea of what I would like to do.


These are ones that a scrapbooking friend made, she posted them over at Scrapbookaddict.com
They are more my style.


Here is another cute one from I Could Make That blog.


Click on the different links to learn a few ways to make these, some just need the corner of an envelope.........think of using up all those junk mail envies that you get!! I plan to make some of these this weekend, I'll post pics when I get them made. Post any that you make too. I think that these could be something cute, quick and easy to encourage someone at church.

Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

I've had a hymn running through my brain all week long and I can't come up with all the words, it has "Glory, glory, glory" in it.

Something fun for your homeschool

I just love these dry erase dots, they make school work so much more fun!!! Math problems are a breeze for boys. I have found them on sale a few times and bought different colors. They are a big hit around here. You can see one of our Magenta colored dot in the bottom picture.
What fun things do you add to your homeschool to spice things up?
