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.

After sharing some witch themed math activities, I found a bunch more fun printable worksheets with a Halloween theme for kids to try, so let’s take a look at some more low-prep Halloween learning fun.

Give kids practice measuring bats, spiders, ghosts and more with these printables from What I Have Learned Teaching. Kids can use a ruler, unit cubes or even little Halloween themed erasers to measure and track the size of the images.

Practice symmetry by drawing half a haunted house, ghost, skull or other simple images with this activity from Printables Hub.

I always love a good roll and draw activity, too, so check out this roll and draw a ghost activity (which has printable instructions) from Finding Myself Young.

Missy Printable Design has a cute set of Halloween worksheets for preschool, including tracing the letter H and a haunted house, spider counting, number tracing, sequencing, coloring pages and more.

The Halloween themed printables from The Artisan Life are meant to be playdough mats, and you can definitely use them for that to make the shape and trace the letters. But you could also use pipe cleaners or Wikki Stix, or line up buttons or anything else on them.

Older kids will enjoy this witch’s brew logic puzzle from Education.com. The witch has made different potions with different colors that do different things, and using the clues you can figure out which one is which. (Don’t worry; there’s an answer key included if you can’t figure it out on your own!)

Another fun puzzle is this decoder activity from Crafting Cheerfully. The holiday icons each represent a letter, and kids can use the decoder to answer the riddle. This isn’t a free resource (and the link in the post is broken but you can find it here) but it includes 20 riddles and an editable file so you can make up your own codes to decipher.
