It’s time for this week’s Family Fun Friday! There are some really great posts from last week featured today, especially if your homeschool motivation is…shall we say, waning.

I’ve never been particularly fond of teaching science. I’m an English major, after all. 🙂 So I added a few posts that have great tips for making science fun for kids (and parents!).

4. It never occurred to me to teach literacy along with teeth brushing skills, but Jodie at Growing Book by Book figured out a way to combine the two! Click over to read her cute idea for brushing away the alphabet with preschoolers!

5. Do you need a way to keep your little learners entertained so you can get dinner on the table? (I’ll wait while everyone raises their hand.) Joy in My Kitchen has a roundup of 10 preschool table activities that are perfect for the dinner hour!
