Hands-On Activities

Playing with Moon Sand for one of their hands-on activities.  I bought it from a fellow homeschooling mom's yard sale for $3 and we all love it!  I confess, I love making stuff with them in moon sand, it's got such a cool texture!
Eating "Alphabet Pretzels" that they helped me make on the first day of school.

Each day, I try to provide one hands-on experience for the kids.  Here is a list I made for myself of things we can choose to do:

Puzzles
Games
Cornmeal Tub
Rice Tub
Beans Tub
Moon Sand
Cooking Project
Cuisenaire Rods
Wooden Textiles
Painting
Duplos or Legos
Marbleworks
Beading
Playing with water
Stamps
Cubes
Blocks

That sounds great, Linds! Kids learn so concretely that hands-on activities are really the way to go.

I love hearing about your homeschooling! Your kids look so happy.
