3. If you have kids who don’t particularly like math, make it fun with spirographs! Science Kiddo has a great post to help you learn how to draw spirographs with your kids.

4. We use a chalkboard with our kids and we’ve found it to be a great help. If you want to make one yourself, Greatly Blessed has a great DIY chalkboard tutorial! You can even make it a project for the whole family and cover crafts at the same time. 🙂
