Inspire Your Heart with Art

This coming Saturday, January 31st, is Inspire Your Heart with Art Day! I wanted to put together a list of resources and fun stuff to help celebrate! Art is HUGE at my house. We love going to art museums, discussing art and creating art!

All the resources are free or cheap. 

These are just a few. Get a book about art history and let your kids look through it. Which are their favorites? Check out books about that artist, style or period! Then to try to recreate a favorite piece in your own way.

Earth Science Week Resources

Science is one of my favorite subjects to with my kids. I LOVE IT and they do, too. I know a lot of people are a little afraid of science but as long as you keep it hands on and fun, there's nothing to worry about. Kids are natural scientists! How many times have you heard your child ask WHY???? See?? Natural scientist! ;)

In honor of Earth Science Week, I thought I would throw together some resources to help you out. 

If you're new to my blog let me explain a few things. I hate text books. BLECK BLECK BLECK!!!! And I am not too crazy about boxed curriculum, either. More BLECK!!! I like to use "living books", hands on activities, games, web sites, videos, movies, etc. to help my kids learn. 

I always try to provide resources for a variety of ages. 

All the books should be easily found on Amazon or at your local library. 

All printables are free unless they are under the $$$.
