6 Ways to Make Summer Learning Stick

Homeschooling

Summer time is known as brain drain time for many kids, but not in our house! We've been playing with lots of play-doh (yes, even the 14 year old – it's fun!), and working on lapbooks together. Grace is working on writing her first book right now, titled Foodland. Something about food coming to life? I'm thinking Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs-ish.

Some of our favorite summer learning resources include:

— lapbooks: let the kids pick the topic, and dive in!
— book report alternatives: because nobody wants to write book reports all summer, but the kids still need to read.
— play-doh, salt, clay: because playing with this stuff is fun.
— building blocks: you're never too old to build towers!

ways to Make Summer Learning Stick

What are some other ways to make summer learning stick? With stickers, of course!

Get your kiddos interactively learning timely subjects this summer. I like these sets because they're fun, washable, and won't chip my paint… we did just paint our entire house!

6 Ways to Make Summer Learning Stick

Let's get started!

US Government

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.

Price: $34.99 down from $49.99 for a limited time – plus Free Shipping on any order with code SUNSHINE through Monday!

United States Geography

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.

Price: $34.99 down from $49.99 for a limited time – plus Free Shipping on any order with code SUNSHINE through Monday!

World Geography

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?

Price: $34.99 down from $49.99 for a limited time – plus Free Shipping on any order with code SUNSHINE through Monday!

Habitats

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.

Price: $34.99 down from $49.99 for a limited time – plus Free Shipping on any order with code SUNSHINE through Monday!

Solar System

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.

Price: $34.99 down from $49.99 for a limited time – plus Free Shipping on any order with code SUNSHINE through Monday!

Mini Sets!

There are also 6 different Mini Sets you can get for traveling and in the car, plane or train – from math to the solar system to time and money! These are a great addition to keep the little ones learning while you're on the go.

Price: $13.99 down from $22.99 for a limited time – plus Free Shipping on any order with code SUNSHINE (for orders over $25) through Monday!

Stock Up on Non-Sticker Summer Learning

If wall stickers aren't your cup of tea, you can probably find some great tools at Educents this weekend and take advantage of the Free Shipping!

Use code SUNSHINE at check out through Monday on any order over $25.

    Amazing article! I agree with you. When it comes to summer learning, it is always better to go beyond the traditional coursework to explore some active-learning opportunities. There’s plenty of hands-on learning at your child’s fingertips. Thanks for sharing such a great article. I am looking for some more interesting articles from you in future.
