It's Holiday's this week and we're very busy with family. So, if you would indulge us with some episodes from the archive. Thanks for all your support! We look forward to an exciting new year! Enjoy! :)

Behold and Despair! The Thrifting Goddess has entered the Podcast!

While I’m sure we’d all love to have a “Supermarket Sweep” style run through your local book, game, or educational resource store, that’s not in the budget for most homeschool families including us. Today on the show we’ll talk about one of our favorite family pastimes and a way to get resources on the cheap, thrifting! We’ll dive into how to thrift the right way and save beaucoup bucks!

Homeschool Together Podcast - Episode 91: Homeschool Art with Beth Herrild
play

04/26/21 • 57 min

Art education can play a critical role in a child's development, but teaching art as parents (especially if you don't feel you have artistic talent yourself) can often be daunting. Today we talk with Beth Herrild, the creator of Outside the Box Creation art subscription boxes, about why art education is so important, how we should approach art with our children, how open-ended art provides an opportunity for creative problem solving that doesn't exit with prescribed projects or crafts, how to engage our children in art, and what essential tools you should have in your art box. Please join us for this terrific interview!
