5 Homeschooling Projects for Kindergarten Students

When educating young students at home, the main goal is to come up with fun and creative ways of teaching while still maintaining a learning environment. You may think that you need to purchase expensive material or head to a reference guide or curriculum. However, your child can obtain a great learning experience with most of the objects found in your home or purchased at the local grocery store.

Here are a few homeschooling projects that can be done with your kids:

Gardening. Purchase a few seed packets. Use and egg carton and fill the egg containers with soil from your backyard and broken egg shells. Poke holes in the dirt and plant your seeds. Cover the holes and water them. Place the egg carton in a sunlit area and observe the changes each day. Have your child jot the changes down in a diary.

Couponing. Get a newspaper filed with weekly coupons. Find all of the dollar discount coupons such as "$2.00 off" or ".50 off". Make up prices for the items listed in the coupons and find out how much the items would cost after using the coupon. Have your child cut and paste the coupons into a journal with the before and after prices on them. Allow him to show his work in the journal.

Mixing colors. Purchase food coloring from the grocery store. Place five cups of water in a row. Apply one color to each cup of water. Label each cup of water with the color that was used. Apply different drop of color to each cup. Have your child jot down in a journal what the original color was, what the color added was and what the new color was.

Playing store. Use your old monopoly pieces to buy and sell things. Label a few items in your house with price tags. Sugar is $2.00, milk is $2.50, and a carton of eggs is $1.50. Have your child count out the monopoly money needed to buy each item. Rotate between buyer and seller. 

Make a recipe. Normally, you start with a recipe to make food. Try starting with the food! Use a familiar recipe and have your child measure and mix the ingredients with your guidance. Have your child jot down all of the ingredients with their measurements and the steps you took to prepare the dish. Review the finished recipe with your child and make the dish again starting with the recipe, first.
