Easy Homeschooling With Ready Made Workbooks

Homeschooling is happening all over the world whether we like it or not. We have seen an increase in worksheets requests and printables. But did you know that not everyone has the luxury of a printer. The cost of printing everything out on paper is causing lots of financial strain on families.

One thing everyone seems to have forgotten is that before all this homeschooling or at-home learning there were already workbooks that could be purchased for schooling.

These workbooks already existed and the actual need for printable packages may not be required, so you don’t need to stress if you don’t have a printer!

Kidsbooks.com has heaps of different workbooks for different ages and free shipping over $35.00. They also sell traditional reading books for kids and readers too. So it’s very easy to fill you cart.

The other thing I love about these homeschooling workbooks is that it doesn’t involve a screen. My kids have so many zoom lessons and tasks that it’s nice to see them using a pen to paper again. If you get your child to use a pencil, you can rub out their work and use it for a sibling later on too.

I love the idea of unit studies, which can be done at school, in a homeschool environment or just for fun at home as a way to learn about something specific your kids might be into (or maybe that you are interested in and want them to know more about).

Simply Learning Together put together a homeschool unit study on the Vikings, which sounds like a lot of fun, first off, but it also walks you through the process of how she develops a unit study for her kids so you can do it, too.

It’s a pretty simple process that involves going to the library, reading and researching yourself, then developing some activities and lessons based on what you have learned.

This unit study for the Vikings, for example, shares the books she read and how she planned out the activities. In the post you’ll find a link to a printable map they used, and she talks about different activities they did including baking bread, having a super cute Viking lunch (a sandwich with banana horns to make it look like a Viking helmet!), working with runes, having a snack in “Viking horns” (waffle cones) as well as music, language arts and notebook activities they did.

You could definitely build off these ideas using the books available in your local public library or through doing your own research to find more information and activities your kids might be interested in depending on their age. You could throw in some Viking mythology, for example (I love Norse Mythology for Smart People as a source). Add some STEM with this how to build a Viking ship activity from Tina’s Dynamic Homeschool Plus, or make a Viking shield out of cardboard with this idea from This Crafty Family. There are tons of great ideas out there once you start looking!
