For so long now I've wanted to turn Home Education Collective into the kind of online community that I would love to be a part of and would love my children to be involved in. We haven't found our homeschool tribe and don't have a strong homeschooling community around us, but connections online gives me the chance to be still be inspired and surround myself with like-minded families. Which on some days can make the world of difference!! So I'm relaunching Home Education Collective with the plan to build an amazing active community full of inspiration, activities, weekly themes and projects for kids to get involved in, prizes for them to win, videos by experts and support for us homeschooling parents. But most of all I want it to be for kids to discover what they love learning about. How to make it fun and exciting for them and help them discover their own motivation and passion to learn and share their knowledge with other kids. I'm still busy making final touches on the website but to celebrate I'm launching my first ever little mini challenge. It's the Inspired Kids Homeschool Challenge which starts Sunday, 5th May. Every day you'll receive an email straight to your inbox with activities to inspire your kids to find out what they want to learn about, discover new interests and shake up your homeschool days.

Spray Bottle Alphabet Game ages 3+ Here’s a fun activity that will keep kids entertained and learning all while improving fine motor skills! Materials needed: - Spray bottle - Sidewalk chalk - Fence or pavement Start by writing all the letters of the alphabet on a fence (or pavement works too). Randomize the letters so that there is a search and find component to the activity. Then ask the child to find a letter and spray it with water to erase it. We started with A and worked our way through the alphabet. This activity would work well with numbers or shapes too. For older kids, you could have them do math facts or spell words. The motion of squeezing the sprayer is great for developing fine motor skills like scissor and pre-writing skills.

“We ❤️ the ” This is what our door has looked like for the past few weeks! We painted our kiddos hands in different shades of green and then had them write a word associated with saving our earth inside of their handprint. I love this piece we made! We made it using branches found outside and twine from the dollar store. You could make this at any point during the year, really. We’re going to keep ours up in the classroom until the last day of school! Happy Earth Day, friends. Be kind to it. . . . #earthday #classroomdoor #kindergarten #iteachk #iteachkindergarten #teachersfollowteachers #canadianteacher #ontarioteacher #earlychildhoodeducator #ece #earlychildhoodeducation #teachersofig #teachergram #teachersofinstagram #fdk #fulldaylearning #inquirybasedlearning #earlyyears #earlylearning #invitationtoplay #playbasedlearning #playislearning #learningthroughplay #learningisfun #reggioinspired #reggioemeliaapproach #reggioclassroom #naturalclassroom

Matching Shapes ages 1 -3 We are kind of obsessed with these silicone cupcake molds! They come in 6 different shapes and lots of bright colors. They’re excellent for water play, rice sensory bins or any kinds of scooping activity. The possibilities are endless. For this activity, I laid them all out and had Alexander match up the shapes. Great for fine motor, color and shape recognition and the silicone is bendy and soft for an added sensory element. So fun! Check out link in bio or story for info on where to get them. Or let me know and I’ll send you a link!

Spotted these recently at Target! I had a whole set of these shape builders in my classroom and my students used them for free choice and with STEM activities. Make sure to look for these next time you're at Target!

I get a lot of DMs when I post a picture of one of our sensory bins all set up and people ask me what happens after Tenley plays with it and it’s all mixed up. This picture above is exactly what happens in a matter of minutes and it makes me so happy to see it all mixed up! If you look 3 pictures back in my Instagram feed, you will see the initial bin setup. Sensory bins are for exploring and getting messy in!⭐️ . When the bin is all set up, it’s an invitation for her to use her mind and be as creative as she wants with it. It makes me so happy to hear her using her words creating stories, while her imagination is running wild playing with her sensory bin. You can store these beans and reuse them in many ways since they last for a long time. It’s time to play, imagine, and explore! #sensoryplay #learningthroughplay

Winter decide to show it’s face here today in Ottawa (hopefully for the last time ). We went outside for about 15 minutes, everyone was grumpy (including myself ), so we came in. It was the perfect day to try out our new Active World Tray. I didn’t have anything planned ahead, so I just grabbed some coffee beans, bowls, cups, spoons, and let the kids have at it! This tray was really awesome for containing everything- we all had fun making coffee for each other, muffins, and just doing some good old scooping and dumping . Tray from @scholarschoice. . . . The coffee beans smelled amazing ☕️- adding to our sensory experience. Have you tried them in sensory play? . . . . . . . #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #learningisfun #learningthroughplay #playbased #momblog #earlychildhoodfun101 #playingislearning #earlychildhood #playmatters #playathome #invitationtoplay #teachersofinstagram #tufftray #tufftrayideas #sensoryplayideas
