It’s crafty week! The vote was divided between these two activities, and we definitely have the space and time to do both. So we are. It’s also our last session before fall semester. Please let me know if you’ve invited friends to join us. We are expecting a bigger crowd this week before the groups …

Did you know painting can be tactile and interactive? Well, it can with fizzing paint. We’re going to make paintable sidewalk chalk that can be “activated” when sprayed with vinegar. It will get messy, but we have a whole parking lot to cover! It’s the same baking-soda-and-vinegar science experiment they’ve been doing for years, just …

Good morning! We’re planning to meet just as last week, but with a few considerations: more blankets! legit activities! Please ask your kids what topic they’d like to explore with everyone. A little background prep so we can discuss these as a group and decide on next week, maybe a bit beyond, depending on the …
Coming soon! More details as soon as I get them regarding the new fall sessions, but I am getting kind-of excited to do PEOPLE again. You? Wildlings is a secular, social group for homeschoolers and their parent(s). And we’re expanding! We’re going to have two groups: • one (hopefully) set in Indian Hills on Wednesdays …
We’ll expore our family’s heritage, starting with you, the mama. I have papers for interested children to fill out about their mothers, plus lots of family tree printables to choose from if you wish to dive deeper. Bring maps, memorabilia, stories, photos – whatever you have – to describe our family trees. Toys and objects …
This week, we’re hand dipping some beeswax candles! Should be very exciting and probably a bit messy. We’ll cover the tables with newspaper. If you have some, please bring it so we can spread out. Tutorials for this project are here and there’s a video here for prize-winning technique – you know, for when we …
We’ll do these things in whatever order the kids want, probably based on the cold. Brings lots of tea, chai or hot chocolate mix! This week we’ll let the kids organize a balloon planet series, hung from the ceiling and labelled, with stars and orbiting moons, for the kids to walk around and under. Please …
We can make these paper plate fractions from here. More ideas for fractions here. Less a lesson than a way to interest kids in math all around us, we’re digging into basic concepts in physical ways. If you have a baking project or a manipulative to share, please bring it. The more ways to explore, …
