Amazon Kindle Free Homeschool Related Books

I came across a couple of Amazon Kindle titles that are free! I'm not sure if these titles are always free, but as of now they are. I would jump on it! I downloaded the free amazon kindle reading app for my android phone. They also have the app for your pc, ipad, iphone and of course if you already have the kindle, then you're all set up to download these free apps. Once you have it downloaded, go to amazon from your phone or even the computer and click on buy it now. It takes 5 seconds for it to go straight to your phone.

I love it, because I can read the kids a bedtime story like the one below straight from my phone. :) Go to amazon.com and type in the search box free kindle books for kids, and you'll get so many free titles. I don't believe there's a limit... so far I've downloaded 10! Now I'm tempted to get a kindle. :)

Here's a few others that seem worth downloading...

Easy Push Pin Styrofoam Ball Ornament

We recently went to a friends school gathering where they had all of us decorate ornaments using sequin pins, sequins, ribbons, pipe cleaners and pom poms. We arrived a bit late and the only supplies left on my table were the sequins and push pins. So I got to work and came up with the following. Fairly simple to make. I imagine hot gluing the sequins on would be quicker. You can come up with different layouts and color combinations. I wanted to create a blue and silver combination, but there weren't enough colors, so I decided to just do a multi color one. We only had an hour to make the ornaments and the school was going to use our ornaments to decorate a tree at our local zoo. So I was short on time and took some photos of a few different combos I came up with. I will definitely be buying some styrofoam balls today! The rougher textured styrofoam balls almost have a blingy look to them which work well if you want to create a design on the ball and have some negati

Little Pretend Passports

Some deals are too good not to share... especially with those of you who have kids between the ages of 5-10. Every week, we spend some time reading a book in one of the FIAR volumes. Whether it's a US state or a different country, we use our pretend passports every week. We even use it along with Little Passports . They do have their own passport, which includes a new sticker stamp for the country of th at months shipment. However, Little Passports comes with only one passport and I have three kids that want their own passport. So I decided to make our own passports to use along with FIAR and Little Passports . For each country or state we "visit" in our FIAR studies, we stamp our passport. We glue down a flag of the country or state and a passport stamp with the date we traveled to that country. I highly recommend purchasing card stock for the cover Wausau Paper Index Card Stock Unfortunately my 2 year old got a hold of them and wrote all over them... so I w

Limbourg Brothers Book of Days Art Project

The kids and I try to include at least one art lesson a week. Some of our lessons require more than one day to complete. We plan on going to the Art Institute soon and my husband and I want the kids to be familiar with some of the paintings we might see. So we've been using the book Discovering Great Artists: Hands-On Art for Children in the Styles of the Great Masters . So far we love it, and it has so many hands-on activities to explore the styles and techniques of the world's greatest artists. They also break up the sections by style/date. This week, we learned about Early Renaissance painters, The Limbourg Brothers. If you're not familiar with the Limbourg Brothers, they are three artist brothers who painted very detailed paintings using thin paintbrushes and magnifying glasses. They created a book with a calendar and pictures of the seasons. The art activity we followed asked to create our own Book of Days. I created a template and had the kids pick a favo
