We do not lack for projects in this house! At times they come straight from the imaginations of my children, while other times I have Pinterest to thank for the inspiration. Kits and pets are highly prized among my three children, be it STEMbox, Lego boost or Mealworm larvae (future chicken food).
I read so much about followin your children's passions in order to homschool successfully, and I worrried they wouldn't have any and we would end up doing nothing. Ha! By spending time with them, knowing them, noticing their interests, I am able to find and suggest projects that suit their curiosity. They don't have to do them. They don't have to join in. Like recommending a movie you loved to a friend, their is no pressure or expectation, just a desire to share something you have enjoyed. And what a feast there is out there to enjoy!
What projects have you been working on lately?
