33 Nature Art, Craft and Play Ideas for Kids

T-shirt ART Project…CANCELLED… see comments below

We are going to host a fundraiser for AHE.  We will be selling some bags and t-shirts with a designed logo for the 2011-2012 school year.  To do this, we need your help!

T-shirt Art Project:

We will be accepting designs created from moms, kids, dads (grandparents, etc… ) from families that are currently homeschooling.

The design can be anything related to homeschooling, it doesn’t HAVE to be related to AHE.

The design should have a place for 2011-2012 dates on it somewhere, although it doesn’t need to be prominent.  *If not included in the design itself, it can be included in a tagline below the design such as “2011-2012 design by “Robbie”, homeschooler”.

There will be no prize, as indicated earlier.  Please see comments below.  We simply are not able to come up with art ideas on our own and hope that out of kindness of your hearts, you would like to join us in trying to find an appropriate design.  The art project gives your kids something to work on, for art, but we never meant it to be a competition of a sort.

Deadline for submissions:  SEPTEMBER 29th, 2011

Submit your art to:  adventisthomeducator@gmail.com

Have FUN with this!!!  🙂

October Brings

Fresh October brings the pheasant,

Then to gather nuts is pleasant.*

This month brings Fall weather to the Northern Hemisphere and Spring weather to the Southern. On October 1st, there are only 91 days left in 2010!

October is Health Literacy Month- Here are two unit studies using the Adventurer and Pathfinder club curriculum: Adventurer -Health Specialist ; Pathfinder- Nutrition

Is your student learning about the seasons? A fall lapbook is a fun way to teach the seasons. Here’s a Squiddo page full of ideas to fill several lapbooks!

October is National Go-On-A-Field Trip Month. Do a web search on “field trips in *your state* ” to discover lots of ideas for fun educational day trips.

Fall-themed crafts are always fun. Enchanted Learning offers lots of activities. Fall leaf templates are fun to work with too!
