Are you ready to take a summer break in your homeschool or do you homeschool year round? We’re year-round homeschoolers, but mainly because I firmly believe that learning is happening all the time — it’s a way of life! Whether you “formally” school through the summer or just take a laid back approach, summer offers tons of opportunities for hand-on learning fun. We’re going to be featuring fun summer learning activities all next week, so be sure to sign up for our email list so you don’t miss a post!
Hands-On Summer Homeschooling Resources
How do you make summer learning stick? Stickers!
Get your kiddos interactively learning timely subjects this summer. I like these sets because they’re fun, BPA free, washable, and won’t chip my paint…though it’s seen better days!
Read on for Six Sticker Sets to Make Summer Learning Stick:
As we honor Memorial Day and look forward to 4th of July, now is a great time to learn about the US Government and honor our history. Your kiddos could also be learning about the presidential election process for the first time this year, and this is a useful primer for questions that may come up.

Summer is a time for family visits, road trips, vacations and staycations. I love this set because we can point out where we’ve been, where we’re going, and where friends and relatives are visiting from – all while memorizing the US! It’s also great little brain teaser for the entire family.

This set is a great way to get your little ones thinking outside of the sandbox! I like doing themed weeks where we focus on a geographic region of the world, then explore the region’s culture (and foods!). The world map is a great jumping off point for math, too, for example: How many miles away is France? What is the distance between our house and the Statue of Liberty?

Summertime also means more time outdoors. These are a great supplement to any camping, swimming, and hiking your family will do this season. If you’re at the pool, you can discuss the difference between fresh water and the ocean habitats, and why each are important to our ecosystem.

Whether your little ones light up at the sound of shooting stars or Star Wars, our solar system can capture their imaginations! I love this sticker set for summer because we have clear nights to experience what we learn, and then recap the next day. This can also be combined with outdoor and nighttime safety learning by using the sun and north star to orient cardinal directions.
