This year, we're celebrating Earth Day by learning

This year, we're celebrating Earth Day by learning more about it!
.
How old is Earth? Where did life first appear? What is the largest living organism currently found on Earth? And where did the name Earth come from, anyway?
.
You will find out the answers to these questions if you play this Earth trivia game!
.
Earth is a truly unique and wonderful place. Billions of animals, plants, and other living organisms coexist together on Earth, supported by the energy of the sun, protected by the atmosphere, and nurtured by the rich soil of our planet. It is entirely possible that there is life elsewhere in the universe, but Earth stands alone as the only place that we know hosts life.
.
Gather together with your family or friends, learn about Earth, and challenge each other to a battle of wits! #homeschool #homeschoolwithlove #homeschooling #earthday2021 #earthdayactivities #earthdayathome #bravelearner #printablegames #boardgamesofinstagram #diyboardgame #triviagame #trivialove #kbnmoms #familynight #stemeducation #stemforkids #steamkidschallenge

Happy International Women’s Day! Keep on being a

Happy International Women’s Day! Keep on being awesome. And here is something to help you celebrate with children. This is a free poster that features twelve amazing women from history. You can read their quotes and discuss what they are famous for. Or you can get a colour-your-own version and let children colour it. #internationalwomensday #womensday2021 #womenshistorymonth #womenempowerment #homeschool #homeschoollife #homeschoolideas #homeschoolroom #bravelearner #homeschooldecor #homeschoolwithlove #homeschoollife #homeschoolprintables #printables #printplaylearn

If your children have ever wanted to have an insec

If your children have ever wanted to have an insect collection, here is their chance to get an easy start! The paper insects don’t have to be caught, yet they look great on display.
.
Insects are fascinating! For a start, they live very close to us, as a natural part of our surroundings. Compare how often one sees a live bear with how many encounters one has with flies, or bees, or ants!
.
We depend on insects to pollinate and protect our crops, and to play other important roles in ecosystems. But they also cause immeasurable harm to us by destroying crops, spreading disease, ruining buildings, etc. Some people are frightened by insects, and some are enamoured. There is a good case for both and an even better one for studying them.
.
Using this printable insects kit, children will read about four common insects, take a close look at their fascinating anatomy and, finally, learn how to make 3D paper models of them with the printable templates and step-by-step instructions. #adventureinabox #papercrafts #paperinsects #kidscrafts #kidscrafts101 #paperart #paperartist #papercrafting #homeschooling #homeschoolfamily #homeschoolideas #paperdecor #insectart #stemeducation #steameducation

FREE PRINTABLE DOLLHOUSE . We all know that in the

FREE PRINTABLE DOLLHOUSE
.
We all know that in the realm of toy potential, cardboard boxes rank pretty high. They can be turned into just about anything. Dollhouses are my favourites. Several times, when a suitable cardboard box has come into my care, I have simply tipped it on its side and drawn - windows, doors, and picture frames. And with the help of this free printable pack, you don’t even have to do that - just print the templates, cut, and paste!
.
You can do it with any old cardboard box, but if you are feeling crafty, you can go a step further and use the included plan for building a dollhouse from cardboard. It is scaled for playing with Calico Critters or similarly-sized dolls.
.
The best part? After the children are done with decorating and playing, you can easily recycle the whole thing!

Having already tried winter and spring/autumn clot

Having already tried winter and spring/autumn clothes, our paper dolls are heading into summer with a new set of free printable clothes.
.
Our paper dolls now have two sets of swimming wear – and a ball to boot! They also have a pair of binoculars for bird watching and two hats for keeping cool in the sun.
.
A new free printable available on the blog!

In July 2011, NASA sent their last shuttle mission

In July 2011, NASA sent their last shuttle mission to the International Space Station. Since then, no launches have carried humans into space from the US soil.
.
The long drought should soon be over though, as SpaceX prepares to send two NASA astronauts to the ISS inside a Crew Dragon capsule. This launch is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27.
.
While it is a big event for the USA, it is also a historic mission for anyone interested in space. It is the first time that a private company will put humans into space. NASA has called the mission "a new era of human spaceflight."
.
Could we miss this event? No, especially not when we saw how amazing the new space suits are!
.
We've updated our Astronaut Paper Dolls pack with the SpaceX suit. If you got it last year, you can log in and download the updated version. If not, you can check the whole pack - with eight space suits from the 50s to present days - on the blog.

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day ‪o

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day ‪on April 22‬! We've made a new printable board game to mark the occasion.
.
Many animals that live on Earth right now are considered endangered. There are currently more than 31,000 species on the red list! That means that, without additional intervention and protection, they will soon join the ranks of the mammoths and become extinct.
.
Our Endangered Animals game introduces kids to the topic of endangered species, threats to their survival, and efforts being made to protect them. We created this board game to encourage children to get to know these animals and to raise awareness of the various threats they face. It is based on the principles of STEM and integrates science (biology) and math (logical thinking and deductive reasoning).
.
We hope that it will encourage children to take further interest in learning about nature and conservation! #earthday2020 #stemeducation #stemforkids #homeschool #homeschooling #bravelearner #homeschoolfun #gameschooling #printablegames #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamefamily #kbnmoms #stemactivities #earthdayfun

DRAWING IN THE SNOW. When life gives us lemons, we can make lemonade. What can we do when life gives us yet another dump of snow in April?.. We can make snowmen, snow lanterns, and draw in the snow!
.
I don’t know how many of you can expect a dump of snow any time soon, but we discovered, just today, that solid paint sticks, also known as gel sticks, work very nicely for painting in the snow! And afterwards the paintings can be displayed outside. .

ROLLER SKATE... INSIDE. During winter months, the kids often entertain themselves by putting all of their roller skating gear on and skating around the living room. There is just enough space for them to move around, but it entertains them for a while.
.
It is -10 and snowing hard today, so April is officially a winter month, and therefore that’s what they did. #kidsactivityideas #indooractivities #playideas
