If you are adding to your list of family at-home activities I wanted to feature the blog for Great Wolf Lodge. This blog brings family activities, topics and tips for at home, on the read and at the lodge.
New content is added regularly and currently there are several fun activities you can take advantage of being home with your children. You can do paper crafts, build a wolf costume, make Grilled Cheese Soup Sliders and more.
All the activities, including the science experiments are geared to all ages. We love Great Wolf Lodge for weekend getaways, but now we can also visit online and connect with them until the park reopens and you can too.
Teach My recommends 20 minutes a day at home with their learning kits to give your children a learning advantage. Now that you are home with them this is the perfect time to start Teach Myat home learning kits if you have not experienced these kits yet.
Teach My has 4 kits: Baby, Toddler, Preschool and Kindergarten. They also have some supplemental at-home learning tools as well on their site. It is more than a learning kit, it is play and reading all bundled together with easy-to-follow guides. Teach My is award winning kits that provide everything necessary for learning the basics, all in a portable and storable case.
I used Teach My with my son when he was younger and was my favorite learning tool by far! He still remembers using our Teach My kits today at age 11. He took his case everywhere we went.
