"To invent, you need a good imagination
and a pile of stuff. ~Thomas Edison
We took a few weeks off from school to "UNschool", I know some
moms may turn their nose up to it, BUT, for us it's a blessing, a time
away from the book work to show our creativity and just have FUN!
I found some Lego learning on pinterest and we dug out the lego box
and art supplies and got to work LEARNING.
We love legos, so learning with
them is always FUN!
We learned; where legos started from,
how they are made, we did math
and other subjects with them.
Building and creating...
we even spelt "Denmark" :-)
#1; flags of Denmark
#2; our "Periodic Table"
(lego people on different elements)
#3; mosaic of a watch
#4; mosaic of a spider
Here is a close up, my oldest
made it look like the lego
people were building.
Ever since I found out about
"lapbooks" and "notebooks"
our homeschooling has
been much easier.
Everybody needs a break from the routine stuff, not matter if it is homeschooling or housework or anything else. Your kids will learn so much from hands on activities because they probably don't really realize how much they're learning, and it can prevent burnout :).
