Chart Jungle always has great stuff, but I hadn’t checked out the homeschool section before tonight.

Printable Forms from THE HOMESCHOOL MOM

WOW!!  This site is wonderful.  I really like the section with printables for homeschooling moms who are trying to get organized.   It seems like they’ve come up with every kind of planning/record sheet.  They EVEN feature an record keeping system for UNSCHOOLERS!!!

I have to start keeping a portfolio for my little one next year, and I think I’m going to use the unschooling printable for my “log of educational activities” that’s required by the state.

The rest of the site is awesome too!

Thousands of Craft Ideas Sorted by Theme (and more)

While the ads are a bit annoying, dealing with them is TOTALLY worth it because this site is just AMAZING.  It’s a fantastic resource complete with recommended books, videos, and craft ideas sorted by theme. Printables available too such as coloring sheets, dot to dot pages, word searches, etc . SONGS and fingerplays too!  Wow! It looks like they have an option to join for $25 a year, but when I explored the site, I found a variety activities that were available to non-members. If you try it out, come back and tell me about your experience.

Printable Phonics Games

My son is really into games right now.  Go Fish. Old Maid.  Hungry Hungry Hippos!    Since he’s learning to read and enjoys games, I printed out some activities from this site and used my new handy-dandy laminator, so they should last for years!

 Games to Make

 This page is not actually geared towards homeschoolers but is still a really neat resource.  Make sure you check out the main page for other printables.
