Homeschooling doesn’t have to be expensive. You just have to be creative with some of the things that you already have at home. But ofcourse, a “little” shopping didn’t hurt anyone! Just the husband’s wallet…hahaha!
I let Caleb use the barrel of monkeys for sorting. Then, we counted the monkeys after 🙂

There are a lot of great ways to teach kids counting that don’t have to cost money. I teach my son subtraction by the cookie method. “If I give you 5 cookies, and daddy eats two, how many cookies do you have left?” Then of course I fake eat two of his fingers. Always keep it FuN~
Hahaha! That is fun!
