Homeschooling is becoming an increasingly popular choice for families who want to create a tailored learning journey for their children. Whether you’re considering homeschooling for flexibility, personalized education, or simply to be more involved in your child’s development, starting can feel overwhelming. The good news? With a few simple steps and the right tools, you can set your child up for success from day one.
1. Understand Your “Why”
Before diving into lesson plans and resources, take some time to reflect on why you want to homeschool. Is it to provide a more hands-on education? To support your child’s unique learning style? Or to create a calmer, more flexible routine? Having a clear purpose will guide your decisions and keep you motivated.
2. Create a Simple Structure
Children thrive on routine, so having a daily rhythm is key. Start small with a few “anchor points”—such as morning reading, mid-morning activity, outdoor play, and afternoon quiet time. Remember, homeschooling doesn’t need to mimic traditional school hours. Short, focused sessions are often more effective than long stretches.
Wondertivity Tip: Wondertivity Busy Books and Learning Binders are perfect for structured learning blocks. Each page offers hands-on activities that cover early literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, and fine motor skills—without feeling like “work.” They can anchor your daily homeschool routine in a fun, screen-free way.
3. Start with Core Skills
Focus first on foundational skills: literacy, numeracy, fine motor development, and emotional regulation. Once these are in place, you can layer in subjects like science, history, and art.
Wondertivity Tip: With pages that explore the alphabet, numbers, colours, shapes, and even telling time, Wondertivity binders make it easy to build core skills while keeping learning playful. Children are learning—often without even realizing it!
4. Make Learning Interactive
One of the best parts of homeschooling is the ability to make lessons interactive. Use songs, play, cooking, nature walks, and storytelling as part of your “curriculum.”
Wondertivity Tip: Wondertivity Busy Books are designed to be interactive from the start. Activities like threading, zipping, buttoning, and matching bring learning to life while strengthening hand muscles and improving coordination. This hands-on approach helps children stay engaged longer.
5. Create Independent Learning Opportunities
Homeschooling doesn’t mean you need to be hands-on all day long. Children also need independent play and learning time. This teaches them focus, problem-solving, and self-confidence.
Wondertivity Tip: Busy Books give children safe, independent activities that encourage focus without screens. From peekaboo flaps for babies to problem-solving challenges for preschoolers, the books grow with your child, supporting independence at every stage.
6. Build a Support System
Connect with local homeschooling groups, online communities, or co-ops. Sharing resources, ideas, and encouragement can make the journey smoother for both you and your child.
7. Keep It Flexible (and Fun!)
One of the greatest advantages of homeschooling is flexibility. Don’t worry if a lesson doesn’t go as planned—use it as an opportunity to adapt. Children learn just as much from cooking, gardening, or building forts as they do from worksheets.
Wondertivity Tip: With their heirloom-quality design and wide range of themes, Wondertivity books easily shift from structured lessons to imaginative free play, making homeschooling fun for the whole family.
