Embracing Art and Books for Homeschool Creativity

Top secret homeschool hack: To keep their attention longer and read more books, distract them with art supplies! I try once a week but it doesn’t always happen. 😜 . . Bonus if you buy a pack of easels for 10$ on Amazon and set them up during morning time with a box of paint. I gave myself fun Mom points for the new easels. . . One spent thirty minutes perfecting up her still life set up. One illustrated the first scene of a story she’s writing complete with adding chalk for more texture. One did ? - and stubbornly refused to explain it (he’s so difficult at times!) . . And H asked me to put up the space book so he could paint a galaxy like in the book. Artist study at its finest! And you think that youngest doesn’t pay attention 😃 . . Grab your stack of books and embrace the mess, Moms. It’s worth it!
